Who amongst us remembers blowing into PE from the Army or Varsity or somewhere else and deciding to go the “Grand for a Change” as we were certain to meet friends there? Couldn’t help but think to myself today: “Oh that it has come to this – now a trip to the Grand involves Greek Salad, Cappucino – NO alcohol, NO meat, NO Strippers and NO more Santa’s drunken little helper.” Time to make more memories at the Grand Hotel methinks! #grandhotel #portelizabeth #central #goodtimes #alanstraton – Taken by the Editor whilst wandering aimlessly about pretending to be in the know.
