Violet has already forewarned Human Resources at GRM about a follow-up dental appointment, and meets up with the other residents under the cherry trees at 10 a.m. to march to the Town Hall with their petition. A good forty people have turned out. Mrs Tyldesley, the artist lady, has painted a lovely banner with swirls of pink and green around a rather idealised image of the flats. Len leads the procession with a placard tied to the back of his wheelchair: ‘Sod Off Specalators’. He would never have got away with that at Lady Manners, her old school in Bakewell. Despite the tough-talking placard, Len looks a bit pale and puffy. According to Mrs Cracey he has diabetes. Isn’t that what Elvis died of? And her Grandma Alison. He should take care. Several grumpy pensioners start squabbling over whose turn it is to push him. Mrs Cracey, steaming up inside her polythene shower cap, with her eyebrows pencilled on in a look of surprise that borders on horror, shoves them aside with her umbrella and grabs the handle.
