  • Damn how much room have i got? Well probly going to get my head kicked in but... The nunny and the grange. Both right next to eachother and they dominate the schools around there. Crime rate, drugs, rapes which is also included in the crime rate but hey they suck so i can mention them twice. Little tingers hanging around drinking cider and getting pregnant before being 16. Not being able to walk around past dark because your scared of being robbed, murdered and raped!
  • the hard sand at st anthonys bank snaps arms very easily as i found out! catching crabs under the pier with someone you wont see again or remember their name not enough big name bands
  • The relatively high level of drug related crime these days (watch this space - it will go higher!)...
  • crappy police curfue on certain areas after 9 if ur under 16 they send ya ome
  • Chavs, boy racers, McDonalds (how many do we need) and the dismal amount of posh flats, why cant they just make nice waterfront bars and restaurants!!
  • powerplay discotheques. i booked them for my wedding reception and they didnt have a clue what to play i would advise anyone thinking of having a mobile disco to book someone else as they really didnt have a clue what to play...
  • the constant school fights, we can't go nowhere after nine o'clock now sure the odd ruck is ok, but it's gettin near to every friday night now
  • The worst things in Cleetorpes is the beachcomber site because it looks like a dump and is a dump!
  • Boy racers in there carp fords a Vauxhalls, think there 120 bhp cars are fast GET A LIFE !!!!!
  • Everything.
  • Moz's shed.
  • Pikeys, they are everywhere. Dodgy Fifteen year olds with bum fluff tashes, drinking special brew and cheap cider. I mean these guys wear peaked hats with a tartan style to them, facing upwards so they can show off their foreheads. A pikey Nikey hoody, and tracky bottoms tucked intot their (white) socks. The older ones tend to own Vauxhall Nova's and bomb up and down. We can only hope that these people suffer a horrible death. If you are one of these people, feel free to die now.

  • Matthew Humberstone, Pleasure Island, Pier 39
  • some dodgy people :s
  • Right then, to that dude who lives in Toronto. Most undesirable area?? It's the area in which you grew up in. It's your home. Grimsby and Cleethorpes will always be home. I've been to Toronto and came back. I've lived in Australia and came back. I now live in London (which makes toronto look like Sheffield) cos I want to broaden my horizons but Cleethorpes will always be home. If you didnt like that much then why did you look for this site on the internet?? Compared to a lot of places in the world Cleethorpes is the nuts. Maybe not compared to toronto, but you can't compare the two.One is a huge city and one is a small seaside town, but both have Grimsby close by (check out Grimsby in canada). We have history but maybe not the type that people flaunt. I have VERY fond memories of Cleethorpes. Because of the town AND my mates, combine th two and I have a childhood that many would have been jealous of. To boast that you live in Toronto is sad, alot of people move away and alot come back. But most realise that Cleethorpes will always be home.
  • computer course at Grimsby College
  • Err the lessons at cleethorpes sixth form!! errr, the fish factories!! they SMELL!!
  • all the young lightweight lads on a nite out who think they can take on the world after a couple of pints!!!
  • The beach stinks.
  • Thick townie twats wearing bad fash.
  • Freedom - This is actually the best venue for clubbers in Cleethorpes, but get filled with drunks, who want fights when it all over. The music at Freedom is great, but sooooo loud that you can still hear it in your head when you wake up the next morning (I must be getting old!!!)
  • Too many slags with their tits up2 their chin and PVC dresses on.
  • Well - I suppose the worst thing might just have to be some of the Meggie people, and to those people I might have to say 'get out of your mom's house and see a bit of the world'.
  • Nobody seems to want to tap this potential!
  • BOURNE LEISURE ON THE FITTIES
  • the whole of cleethorpes.
  • cleethorpes market place fri /sat its like gunfight at the ok corral full of dickheads who want to figt the world (or you!!!)
  • meggies is so cold. and it smells very bad
  • The cry of "Johnny get out t'watter" and the dredded saying of "come 'f' day decided 't' stay" from the Yorkie invaders in the summer.
  • No multi-scrren cinema So few decent restaurants Shit public transport
  • The summer when the whole of Yorkshire descends on the town and gets chucked out hours later
  • Racist, Tory scumbags are EVERYWHERE!
  • Some peoples attitudes (bad, very bad) People I now meet who have moved away and slag the place off.
  • Cleethorpes polluted beach You can find a lovely array of things ranging from lovely human waste to used soggy tampons.
  • Lamest things are druggies, drunkies and un-waxed curbs.
  • Avoid the beach (well if you can call it a beach) at two or three in the am on Friday and Saturday nights. It's full of people making out or people spewing all over the place.
  • The annual show on Cleethorpes pier staged by the "Catering Cuties".
  • Beach: one of the worst in Britain.
  • The Clixby Close posse must be avoided. Another bad thing are the Yorkie tourists who tend to pack out "the front" on sunday afternoons. The Country Park is also pretty dodgy especially after dark, being a hangout for the youth of the town.
  • Where do I begin? To summerize Cleethorpes and Grimsby are eary shadows of their former selves. It has always been a working class northern town of which, as has been in decline for decades. The moral fibre and work ethic has long sinced died. The lack of culture and social activities. Not to mention bad housing and schooling make this area very undesireable. Not only, to live and raise a family, but from a finaiacal standpoint. No one cares about the fact that the 2 towns are truely ghastly with no growth, only in unemployment and crime. Poverty is high in this area. And people tend to just "deal" with it. Young people need to get their education and leave. I could ramble on and on and on........ I hate the place. I was born there...... and there will be many more to follow. People having kids on these housing estates with no real income. Uneducated thugs..... Not good:( ......consequently I moved away. Actually, I am in Toronto right now on business from Vancouver where I live and work within the computer industry. The money is unreal I live in a skyscraper life is whta you make of it. Scares me to think what life would have offered me if I where back in the UK.
  • Men who are looking for a fight.
  • XR3i Drivers with 'Fido Dido' & 'Bass-the final frontier' stickers on Vauxhall Novas tear arsing around with the belief that single figure bhp in a Ford is impressive - well it isn't, the sooner these Kevins end up in a ditch, dying horribly for being the penisless wonders they are, the better - they usually illuminate the underside of their motors as well, and their birds are 15yrs old, hammered, ropey, pregnant and have IQ's in the region of 6.7
  • Stage One and all who sink in her, and perform lots of poo at stupid high prices that only the doting relatives will pay. Also, townies with their perms, bleached hair and roots, Lapagayo coats,fags, silly leggings and Kickers
