Hey Mon
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Between changes of work uniform, Mr. and Mrs. Hedley trade complaints about their exhausting schedules. Their son Byron has lost his hotel job, but his remaining work and ten bands still fail to impress his father. Margaret arrives dressed for a date and praises her well-paid American boyfriend. Her parents judge him by the number of jobs he holds, turning her romantic news into another argument about work before the family rushes out again.
