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"

    • You absolute legend! Thank you!
    • It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.
    • The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.
