Alma couldn’t think of anything to say after that. As she lay on the pile of brush and blanket that were her bed, she thought of plenty. Luke was an annoying idiot compared to Gabe.

Chalk Valley The business that I am investigating is Chalk Valley, a gourmet burger bar at 27 London Road, Southampton (see figure 1.1). They have been running since February 2014 and the business is a private limited company. They attract a wide range of customers but the restaurant is a particular honey-trap for students, being in an easy location for students to reach – note question 1 of my customer survey to see the age ranges of customers.
