Joyce and Hardy have been getting on each other's nerves for decades, and their pensioner friends are used to their constant bickering, but separating turns out to be more difficult than they thought. Sharing the marital home in Gosport — with Hardy living upstairs and Joyce living downstairs — seems like a solution that won't plunge either of them into poverty, but what happens when they start looking for love elsewhere?
In this sequel to An Incident on the Gosport Ferry, David Gary takes up the story of sharp-tongued Joyce and laid-back Hardy and their experiments with the world of online dating. All the men Joyce encounters turn out to be criminals or penny-pinchers; whereas Hardy — initially savouring the prospect — is then terrified when confronted with women expressing their ‘desires'. Will either of them find true love?
