Unbelievably there's not one for Grantham, a place where I spent every summer holiday of my pre teen years as my Gran and Granddad lived there.
The most exciting thing to do in Grantham in the 80's was go to the newly constructed Issac Newton shopping centre where there was a clock. On the hour it would strike, sending a comedy apple on to a statue of Newton's head, prompting the sort of people who still point at aeroplanes to exclaim "t'apples fell".
It had one cinema in the 80's (that's one screen) which looked like a scout hut and was so cutting edge it once showed Mickey's Chrismas Carol at Easter.
Not only that but you can add to the list of crimes the fact that it's where Maggie Thatcher was born and raised.
The last time I went back, mind, the high speed East Coast line was starting to transform it in to a yuppie commuter paradise, purveyors of the crap end of web design. This should have made it even more awful except this time I was over 18 and also noticed it had a couple of very decent pubs which at least puts it above Crawley.
However in my last year in England we were on a train heading to an Away game at Halifax which was called off while we were just pulling out at London. Some of the others decided that Granthams Beazer game would be a good replacement but I wished them luck and turned around at Peterborough with the Tatty Fax man in tow.
