Uni: Gus Honeybun and the Windy Gimli Burger, Plymouth - 17th October 1988

The placement year is over so it's straight from 2 Sewell's Cottages to the launch of the "Windy Gimli Burger" down in the Students' Union at Plymouth Polytechnic. During the year away, the SU had been busy and had built a franchise of the popular Cap'n Jasper's burger bar - as found on the Barbican in Plymouth. Proprietors John and Dee Dudley are there, along with local celebrity rabbit Gus Honeybun and the new SU President Matt "Gimli" Horton, to launch the Windy Gimli Burger - with added beans. Nosher worked for a while as a burger flipper in the Jasper's student outpost, until the smell of fried onions became too much to bear. The experiment didn't last that long either, sadly, although Cap'n Jasper's remains ever-popular in its original home on the Barbican. After all of that, Kate drives us over to Wembury Beach for a bit, and then up to the Walkhampton Inn on Dartmoor for a pint of beer, then Nosher and Angela are out somewhere for a picnic on Dartmoor, however the weather's rubbish so we eat it in the car instead.
