The last time I was in The Grand was about 1985 when I entertained a customer who was staying there. He was with British Steel Sheffield, and really only a kind of senior technician, but his expense-account meant he could stay at places like The Grand. Instead of eating there, he wanted a curry! But we did end up in the bar at The Grand for a last couple of drinkies - and you're right, SisterSue, it was expensive!
