Talk:Immingham

message: I don't see why Immingham should have a section on the refineries. They are based at Killingholme, which is several miles away and not even in the same county. TomGreen 22:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in North Killingholme, that and South Killingholme are actually located in North Lincolnshire. Most people that work on the refineries are actually contractors from Grimsby and Scunthorpe. A number of people from Immingham and Killingholme do work on there. I would say that Immingham has grown more as a result of the docks than the refineries. TomGreen 22:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To clarify, the refineries are in North Lincolnshire. Tom Green (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

text: To clarify: Business rates are paid to North East Lincolnshire Council; thus the vast proportion of the land they occupy must be in North East Lincolnshire. To clarify even further: The refineries provide much employment to the people of Immingham, either directly or via service industries that supply the refineries.  Civilisation doesn't finish at Watford and the economic influence of the Humber Bank refineries doesn't finish at the western end of Manby Road.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.226.217 (talk) 22:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Can any of you please explain to me when Immingham was nick named "Ming Ming"?
I lived in Immingham for 21yrs and can not ever recall saying that I was from "ming Ming"
Is this a recent nick name?
I've lived in Grimsby for over 30 years and have only heard the phrase 'Ming Ming' in the last five. It obviously comes from the 'ming' in Immingham but I don't think that people from Birmingham (with similar pronunciation) use a similar phrase. I hate to say it but I would imagine the term 'Ming ming' is also derived from the word 'mingers', reflecting the state of certain parts of the town and rather unkindly, certain people from it. Perhaps initially used as a term of abuse it has, in the same way Montgomery turned the insult 'Desert Rats' into a nickname for his regiment, become a badge of honour for the town (likewise fans of Grimsby Town FC refer to themselves as codheads, although the term was originally abusive)
Thank you I have not been home to Immingham for about 13 years, so this phrase is new to me.
:A user just decided to add reference to 'Ming' and 'Ming Ming', but if it's going to stay, we need some kind of reference to support it. Also, I live in Nuneaton, which is not far from Birmingham, and I've never heard the phrase used in relation to Birmingham. Egdirf (talk) 16:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a localised expression which is in common useage in the area. Aside from my own local knowledge to support this (which I realise isn't adequate alone), I have added three references which I personally deem to be reliable. Others disagree, but the British Antarctic Survey is a highly reputable source which should remain. This is highly relevant in the same way in which the Scunthorpe article mentions its local name. Tom Green (talk) 23:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard this expression, but I'm not sure the link you provided can be used. While the British Antarctic Survey is a reliable source, this seems to be a letter someone wrote to their mother. I regularly write my mother (who lives in Canada) and I tell her what's going on in the UK. I doubt we could use it as a reference though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.19.155 (talk) 23:55, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is proof that the term is used, that's all the references need to do. Now, I'm aware that some people that live in Immingham do not like or use the 'Ming Ming' name, and those are the people likely to be challenging this, but it is and this is easily proven.

replies: text: I've just re-added the British Antarctic Survey reference. What harm does it do? It proves that Immingham has that nickname. CraigJRichards (talk) 12:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
