Uni: A CISU Trip To Plymouth, Devon - 16th March 1996
Both Nosher and Russell are alumni of Plymouth Polytechnic/University, and succeed in pestering Andrew - also from Suffolk County Council's IT department - to take us down for a mini reunion of two, where we do the usual exploration of the Barbican, Mount Edgcumbe and the poly/uni campus. The campus is little-changed from Nosher's time, apart from a re-cladding of the GTB and a re-naming of the same to "Babbage". However, there is a big shock with the discovery of the former PPSU bar, where Nosher worked for a couple of years, which has been completely demolished and turned in to what looks like a KFC. To recover from this tragic experience, we head over to the legendary and just off-campus pub, the James Street Vaults.
