Anything For A Quiet Life (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
said Admiral Fairlie to Jonas, who was his solicitor and friend, “Shackleton is as nice a spot as you could find on the south coast. Plenty of young families on the new estate. The fathers have their businesses at Saltmouth or Poole, but they prefer to live here because it’s quiet.” “And the rates and rents are lower.” “Maybe. Good folk, anyway, who work hard and give no trouble. Then there are the old brigade. People like me, who came here to retire. It’s not so up-market as Eastbourne, but there’s plenty to do.” “One repertory theatre, one cinema, a bingo hall and a dancehall. And if everything else fails, you can spend your money in the slot machines in the amusement arcade on the pier.” “Right,” said the Admiral. “For eleven months no complaints. Then we come to August, which ought to be the best month in the year. And find that August is” – he paused to pick his words carefully – “a shambles, an inferno, a nightmare.” “Bailey’s Circus and Funfair.”
