Quoted from grimsby pete
Yes we Grimbarians do have a good accent,

Living in suffolk for the last 21 years,

I am pleased I have kept my accent and do not sound suffolk.


I'll second that Pete - we have been here since 1978 and thankfully we are not 'silly Suffolk' yet although I'm not sure how strong my Grimsby accent is - I know it really comes back whenever I go home (or talk to you or Terry!)

I think Grimsby does have a strong accent and a very distinctive one, I could pick it out anywhere and it's easy to identify someone from GY (or a Meggie) when they are on TV (Incidentally everyone down here refers to Great Yarmouth as 'GY' and I am always putting them straight (Great Yarmouth is 'YH')

BTW where have you been Pete - was getting worried about you - we still have to have that pint in BSE.

Missing spoggies off for sure!

Have lived in many places over the years, and always found that the "accent" draws attention. They know you are northern but can't quite place it.

excrement hole or not, am proud of where I am from
