Alan Sheldon has a large house, a successful furniture business, a charming wife and two children. There is a steel strike and this hits Steelos, the main employers of AlanÕs customers. They immediately lay off 5000 men.
For expansion, Alan has had to guarantee the bank who have a charge on his house,
Over a dozen notes in his diary show us AlanÕs private life as a young man.
Went to a buffer girls party, When she cleans up Beverley looks a million dollars. My drinks were spiked and a wardrobe blocked my exit I came to in their bed with Mr and Mrs Tomlin staring at us.

Three years later there was the Miners strike.
Could Alan keep the house and the business. Can he save his marriage?
