    We used to have a perfectly good public house called The Sir Issac Newton at the corner of Springfield road and Harlaxton road just opposite Grantham Road Services yard.
    Now a throw up KFC junk food joint, which will no doubt disappear very quickly once the profits drop, I have never know a town with so many junk food outlets, doesn’t anyone cook proper food anymore? All we seem to have are pizza outlets, burger outlets and chicken outlets most of which is based on American rubbish
