Synopsis
A middle aged couple, George and Suzie, struggle with an ordinary, everyday event, in this case buying a new mattress. The ordering and paying last week was easy … now comes the hard part, waiting at home for the delivery man to arrive. When George finds out they’ve delivered it next door, his blood pressure takes a turn for the worse as neighbour Becky describes arriving home to find the mattress and headboard blocking both her stairs and the door into the kitchen - no toilet and no tea tonight!
George alternates between frustration and rage in his dealings with various members of the shop's staff in his attempts to get it redelivered, until he hits on a cunning plan to force their hand.
The comedy is true to life relating, as it does, a common problem, experienced by most of us! |
