February 22, 2008 5:49 PM

I CAME home from work last night feeling knackered.
And all the muscles at the base of my neck were knotted and taut.
I had eye strain and I could feel one of my headaches coming on.
Posh Boots arrived home at about the same time, feeling much the same – though I don’t think she had the knotted neck and back muscles.
So we decided to go straight into Tallulah’s wine bar in New Brighton and order a bottle of Rioja.

They inhabit an entirely imaginary society where people are "bright, enthusiastic and customer focused".
The reality in 21st century Britain is this: most people who work are very stressed and depressed by their jobs.
