I can remember Normans Toy shop down St Peters Ave , I think they had one down Freemo too.
I used to get all my toy soldiers from there

When we first came to Grimsby in 1966 to look for a house I was bribed  to put up with trailing round loads of houses with a box of Airfix 00 scale British WW1 soldiers from Normans.
Later when I was hooked on Subbuteo Evingtons in town was the place to be.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Yes, Evingtons. A proper toyshop, as a boy you'd just stand and gaze at the wall of toys in the window. Trailing your kid around Toys R Us in comparison these days just kills a little bit more of your soul

As the guy responsible for the hi-jacking of this thread (I mentioned Mad Harrys), may I take this opportunity to apologise to anyone under the age of 174 who have no idea what us old farts are on about.  But maybe one day in about 30 years time you'll be doing the same about the old ground called Blundell Park.  The Parkway cinema, Freeman St etc etc.

Your turn will come yoof, and quicker than you would realise.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
