Going off topid, but yes, Whitby is a beautiful place with a real sense of history.

Nothing like climbing the 199 steps to the old chapel and sitting on a bench overlooking the bay, it's a special place.

Grimsby... not so much.

Oh, and those "benches" at regular intervals up the steps were apparently for coffins to be rested on when the bearers needed a rest on the way up to the chapel.


Legend has it that a black dog jumped off a deserted ship, swam to shore, ran up the steps in to the chapel and disappeared. Bram Stoker liked that and wrote Dracular.

I am sure there are pockets of jaw-dropping beauty in Grimsby. But putting personal opinion to one side... objectively, the facts are that it's an area with relatively cheap property and relatively high unemployment. Pretty much everything is cheaper there. By London standards, prices at the Sea Cow were about right.

Seconded. Surprised I hadn't seen a mention of it earlier.

Consistently spot on. Used to eat here when I lived in Cambers but will happily go out of my way now I'm in ED.


Just don't ask if they have anything 'ready'.. ! The owner will take offence (saw a guy get his ear chewed off!)

The @MEATliquorED tweet :


"Delighted to confirm that we're taking over The Sea Cow site.Won't be open for a while though.It'll be ace coming back to where it all began"

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
