"nobody would actually miss the place----would they ?"
Uniquely, I was very grateful to see Grantham t'other week. Doing an Air Ambo spinal transfer in an ancient Bo105 down to Cambridge, the weather was complete harry clampers at Peterborough. Fortunately Grantham was completely within weather limits (said without a hint of a smile), so our unfortunate occupant was decanted into a land ambulance at the hospital HLS for onward transfer. Thank goodness for towns in shallow valleys.
