Herbie and June (edited) Harris have both recently been made redundant from their jobs. They have 3 kids and the eldest has just left school at 16 and is looking for work too.

It's "shipyard fortnight" coming up where practically everyone connected to the ship building industry takes their annual leave on Tyneside where they live. They are determined to at least have a holiday to park their problems for a while.
