Back
in 1990, hopeful property developers built a space-ship shaped restaurant on the side of the A14 motorway
near Peterborough. This restaurant was called Megatron.
At age 9, Bryony Kimmings remembers the hysteria this Mecca of overpriced hamburgers, complete
with touch screen ordering systems and robot waiters, brought to her little town. The lasting memory, however,
was its sad demise.
Bryony Kimmings invites you to become her 9-year-old self, pull on a pink
shellsuit, grab a Walkman and embark on a trip down memory lane. This is a coming of age tale of one hot
summer, schoolgirl dreams and those 'growing up' moments when the magnificent becomes the mundane.
