Of course the steam trains were running and the Signal Box Inn - (probably) the smallest pub in the world, was open for business.
Oktoberfest continues tomorrow so get down there and try a little of what you fancy - German-style - of course!

“better headline than the usual - '1000's flock to' fantasy ones.”

“Whatever the thoughts about the headlines or comparison between a certain well known but deceased dictator, the business is run by a man who has double standards.
Would he sell off his own personal assets as cheaply as he has done the towns.
I am sorry but politics does enter it for me and I will never visit his establishment again and line his pockets after the way he has handled the towns assets and history.”

“Justsaying - are you really inferring Chris Shaw is akin to Hitler? I may not like a lot of what Shaw does in power, but I would never compare him to a dictator responsible for the death of millions in horrid torturous conditions. That is both an insult to Shaw and those who lost their lives at Hitler's hands, not to mention many descendants of the survivors who would just find your comments incredulous.
Perhaps you should think carefully before posting something so offensive to the families of those lost during the war because of Hitler.”

“I wonder if Chris Shaw dressed up as a well known dictator for the party? It would be another great opportunity to act like one!”

“alternatively there is a british beer festival being held all week at The Notts on Sea View St, several different beer styles available brewed by local and national craft brewers in what is one of Cleethorpes last remaining old community pubs. support your local pubs or lose them forever”
