From the author of the Reginald Perrin series comes a classic tale of two families, one posher than the other, set in a Yorkshire town. 'I'm the groom's father. You're the bride's mother. It's their wedding day.' When Ted Simcock, maker of toasting forks in a small Yorkshire town, tries to avoid the inevitable with beautiful dentist's wife Liz Rodenhurst, his anguished attempt fails utterly, with huge consequences for both their families.
