Took a potter around this weekend. Wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Houses everywhere seemed in very good nick (excellent prices too), streets were far cleaner and attractive than London, and the sea-front wasn't packed with chavi-gans. Only surprising thing was how few holiday-makers were there - I won't be investing in a b&b business there anytime soon! But it could be a decent place for a cheap retirement home. Access to the net, sea views on sunny days, cheap cost of living - what more do you want?

Ah, Cleethorpes where the wind is so bracing. And if it changes direction to come from Pywipe you understand why there's not so many holiday-makers in Grimsby.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
