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"

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
