What on earth are grockles??

We have those in Blackpool!

They're 'holiday-makers'

 

[LauraB]

I just looked up grockles, and it seems it's actually a word for tourists in Devon!

Seems like Blackpool nicked it - my mum used to run a B&B in Blackpool, and we always called them that (trust us not to come up with anything original )

 

[beanie]

aaah, thought they were some kind of teen tear away. Oooh that makes me a grockle when I go to Devon then

 

[LauraB]

Yes it does ....... and I've just realised why my mum has always called them grockles ..... I was born in Devon

 

[tracyM]

we don't have them in morecambe - don't have many tourists full stop these days

 

[Rosieroo]
