Whilst on a canal trip we had a meal at the Syston HH, and it was pretty good. So when a friend visited, we went to the nearest HH at Spalding, Lincs. Locals will know this as the former The Birds.
What an embarassing disappointment. Inside it was dingy and dirty in parts. It was untidy and the decorations were old and poor. The whole pub was filled with smoke and it was difficult to find anywhere reasonable to sit.

Of all the years that I have been going to the parade this is ...

* Those who like gory pictures of the human body in various states of disarray, disruption and decay.
* Medical students who are interested in their subject (and therefore buy the textbooks!)
* The clinical hypochondriac.
Luckily for us this is not a review of THAT Gray?s Anatomy, no no, it is a review of that most witty of title-writers Spalding GRAY who would like us to consider his particular ANATOMY ? do you see what he?s done there?

Spalding (now don?t be too quick to judge, we know not what his mother was going through at the time?) Gray is a writer of monologues. He?s a writer of monologues who is getting on in life and interestingly falls into one ...
