Lincoln: The Cathedral and Holiday Inn city

Is Lincoln a nice place to live or is Lincoln rough?

Is Mablethorpe a nice place to live or is Mablethorpe rough?

On recent terrible trip the Lincolnshire town of Mablethorpe I was horrified at the down trodden class of trollops that are attracted to the town.

Skegness – where northerners go to die (part 2)

Is Skegness a nice place to live or is Skegness rough?

All in all the locals, whilst obviously stark raving mad and having heads like dropped pies, are harmless enough.
