In a tower block on a council estate in South London flat owner Vince takes in a new lodger Errol. It's a big mistake. Errol is a nice considerate thoroughly decent bloke who has moved down to London & is working his way through a list of things he wants to achieve in life. (Number 36: drink a cappuccino number 37: work with fish): Vince is the most sullen man in Britain who having spent too much time living on his own lacks both tolerance & social grace. A lifeguard at the local swimming Vince takes great pride in being able to tell swimmers off for no reason & obtains his home decorating ideas from photos in Readers' Wives. No regular visitors come to visit the two men as Vince has no friends & Errol feels that any friendships he has made will be jeopardised by his landlord. But that's not to say there are no encounters. What with Rastafarians doing dub reggae workouts men with Shetland ponies in their spare bedrooms single mothers salsacising in their living rooms & dope smoking teenagers inhabiting the lift...life is a constant whirl of social interaction. Of sorts.
