The Worst Day of My Life, by Alan Richardson

Only today's routines do not go quite according to plan ...

Don't do anything rash

We all have the same ring

Unexpected Item in Bagging Area, by Lynn Brittney

Set in a back room in a supermarket, this is a piece about the trials and tribulations of modern day living.
Four women of a certain age - three supermarket employees and a distressed customer - reflect on many of the issues and frustrations of 21st century in UK.
This is a play of today : not uproariously funny, but you will chuckle to yourself as you identify with
the views and experiences of our four ladies.

Bunkered, by Lynn Brittney

Somewhere near the coast in Britain is a Naval Intelligence Cold War Bunker, manned by four naval personnel nearing retirement. Only, as far as the Royal Navy is concerned, the bunker was decommissioned in 1991 and the staff were made redundant... except somehow they all slipped through the net and continued to receive monthly pay cheques from the Ministry of Defence computer system.
Peter, a Chief Petty Officer with a strong sense of responsibility, and the nearest to retirement age, decides to bring a friend in to bring all the equipment up to full working order.
Imagine the alarm at Naval Headquarters when they start getting signals from what they thought was a defunct facility! Time to call in the Marines! With, of course, hilarious consequences...
