sage Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Unfortunately for him, he's an English football supporter from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 11 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England. A number of residents of Grimsby were angry with Baron Cohen portraying their town as a rubbish-strewn, violent ghetto in which drunks urinate from windows and mothers hand children cans of beer in the street.[19] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 it depends on the criteria of said polls, is it wealth based or quality of life, ease of navigating through, the north is always going to score badly purely due to lack of investment, I think northern people are simply nicer than southerners cant comment on Grimsby because I have never visited.

Day Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I know you're trolling but Grimsby does get a bad rap as the main road in off the motorway puts you straight in the run down areas around the town centre and docks. The docks are pretty much dead now anyhow. If you came in by the A16 and turned right at the collage round about you would see a different Grimsby. You've got areas just as nice if not better than what Derby has to offer. I live in Scartho Top, new housing estate off Scartho which is pretty much the equivalent of Allestree. The Ember in 10 minute walk away regularly has Bentleys and Ferrari's parked up. Think the Broadway and Duffield road up. 15 minute drive away you have the rich club street with huge huge houses. Even Cleethorpes when you move away from the centre has really nice places to live. Holton Le Clay, Tetney again just as good if not better than what Derby has to offer. If you went into Derby and only saw Normanton, Alvaston, Spondon, Sinfin you would think Derby was a dump which it is in large parts. Oh and we have super fast internet unlike cart and horse land Belper, and the Grimsby film was filmed in Essex not even Grimsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
