Happy Birthday And All That (2003) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Huh,’ said Frank when Posy told him. ‘What kind of a holiday would that be? You might as well go to the school playground at 3.15. What kind of getting away is that? Scoop them all up and take them in a giant dumper. I’d bloody hate it.’ ‘It’s not their holiday. They’re going to France in August too. Anyway, it sounds nice,’ said Posy feebly. ‘Huh. I hope the Lions of Longleat raid the place.’ ‘There are acres of forest, and cycle paths,’ said Posy who wasn’t listening to him at all. ‘And a health spa. Kate’s got all these treatments booked. Oh well, I don’t suppose we’ll ever be able to afford it.’ ‘Posy, what’s happened to you? How could you want to go there?’ ‘I could stand it,’ said Posy. He put his head in his hands. ‘Posy, it isn’t even a real place. How can you go on holiday to somewhere that isn’t a real place?’ ‘You wouldn’t be so snobby about people going to Butlin’s. Just ’cos we can’t afford to go.’ ‘Huh.’ ‘At the age of thirty-seven,’ Posy sang, ‘She realised she’d never ride to Centre Parcs/In a space wagon/With the air-conditioned air in her hair.’ ‘It doesn’t even scan,’ said Frank.
