      Greeves you will not believe your eyes, it’s turned out to be a total waste of money, Daves butty van gone, but hey! We have masses of paving. Who ever though this one up wants to return their salary as it was obtained under false pretences. It was the councillors idea of becoming “trendy” we also have some obscure street furniture that is supposed to resemble one of Sir Issac Newtons theory’s. Stay in Suffolk if you come back to Grantham you would weep for a week.

          They say you should not go back,perhaps there is a great deal of truth in that. If you do come back to Grantham be prepared for a shock, housing estates everywhere and I mean everywhere, The high street as you knew it gone, a lot of empty shops a lot of charity shops, businesses gone, companies gone, flats up, population up traffic up, to put it bluntly the place as it is at the moment is a bloody mess, I have just sold my house had enough of it all, been fed up for years moving to the coast, starting afresh.
