'It's strange without me mum because me mum's always been there to say, "do this, do that, Hoover in there, or dust in here, go and make the beds, or wash the dishes....'"
Christine Greenwood works in the character jug shop in one of Royal Doulton's pottery factories. She is engaged to Mick, a salesman. The film follows the three days which lead up to their wedding.
Christine must go through a raucous traditional ritual on the factory floor which ends with her being tied up to a post in the street outside. As the wedding itself approaches, Christine wonders how she will adjust to living without her mother, while her parents worry about the young couple's future in the current economic climate. As her mother says, 'If this
(salesman's) job doesn't work out I don't know what they will do. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for them.' Film cameraman
