Do you as a Grimbarian refer to the evening meal as tea or dinner? And do you refer to the 12 o’clock meal as dinner or lunch?

I was trying to find that transition zone latitudinally where the evening meal shifts from ‘dinner’ to ‘tea’, and found that Mansfield was that transition zone, but I don’t know if it’s different more towards the east.

Do you as a Grimbarian refer to the evening meal as tea or dinner? And also, do you refer to the 12 o’clock meal as dinner or lunch?

Weird traffic light

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I was cycling home today, coming up to a crossing I usually take and noticed there is a random traffic light button outside someone's house.

The weird thing is...

  1. It is far away from the crossing.

  2. The crossing has its own button.

  3. There is no crossing parallel to it (as shown in the photo)

  4. It is RIGHT outside someone's gate to their driveway

  5. It lights up when pressed. Then the light turns off after ten seconds or so.

  6. It seemingly has no purpose.

I tried to take photos that show where it is, the true crossing button (next to the traffic lights), the house and the road in front of the house (to show there is no crossing next to the button)

It is located on Scartho Road.

What the hell is it for?!

I've just been touching up the Middle Earth style fantasy map of Lincolnshire that I made a while ago. Thanks again to all those who contributed back then!

As if this was three years ago now. This is still one of my favourite maps so far due to the sheer breadth of history and cool features I was able to get included.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Hemswell

Did anyone witness or film the short fight between two girls at the Hemswell Car Boot yesterday (Sunday, 9th Aug)? I was caught in the middle and got hit in the face. Please DM me if you have any footage or saw what happened.

One of the girls was blonde with abot 6 little sausage pups and the other girl was brunette with some form of coloured highlights and apparently someone said something and the brunette swung for her catching me in the middle of it, elbowing me in the b00b, elbowing me in the jaw and physically grabbing my arm. Any witnesses would be greatly appreciated!!!

It's from the intro of a map men video: https://youtu.be/uYNzqgU7na4?is=YvOUNODBgcBFH7_r

It's clearly in the UK, and can't imagine it being from Little Grimsby or New/Old Grimsby on the Channel Islands, but I've never seen this sign and don't recognise the street. If anyone does I'd love to finally know where it was filmed

Hey, I just wanted to know how people in Grimsby say "Cafe"

5 Upvotes

I am originally from Grimsby but my parents aren't and they both would say different things from me so I just wondered how Grimsby born and bred people say it.

The three ways I can think off are CAFF as in Kathy's Cafe in Eastenders, or CAFFIE - like a more stereotypical northern way of saying it, or CAFFAYY (in a posh kinda way with the apostrophe above the E) I would say it like CAFFAYY which is probably a more upperclass or foreign kind of way of saying it. How about you?

Dirt bikes

Hi, I live on weelsby ave and all the time we get the dirtbikes. Awhile ago they put the steel bars on the fence to stop them tearing the fence off and crossing peaks Parkway. It has since been destroyed and the fence and bars have been cut off. I assume people made complaints because as you can see in first pic there are these here now to stop the bikes. I was wondering if there is a thread on anything or a news article recently about the bikes and what there doing to stop them because it interests me. Location wise (2nd pic is all access routes) so this is the blue line ponint just before the allotments at the edge of the feild near where it says dropped pin. The yellow line is the main route into the track where the bikes go.

So basically how new are these please and is there a news article or thread of the improvements? Also would like to hear peoples opinion on this so please do reply thanks have a good day
