Welcome to the world of Amy, Alice and Felix; theyve little to say in favour of it. Mostly they fail to find tolerable partners, bicker, whinge and spend too much time in a dive called The Snakepit. And then theres teaching careers to avoid and the rest of humanity to endure. And theres Morgana and Oswald. And then Felixs partner leaves him for an unemployed circus clown. And thats what living in the faded glory of Ambleside (an end of the line coastal town that wasnt too glorious before it faded) is all about - if you can call it living. And then you die.
