Gwen and Peggy wear their glasses on cords round their necks.
The students who sit behind them call them 'the puddings' because of their matching pageboy haircuts.

Peggy 'sings' soprano in the local Choral society. Actually Peggy can no longer hit the high notes, but couldn't stand to become one of the Awful Altos. So mostly Peggy mimes. She sits by her friend Gwen, in the same seats every time. Gwen mimes too.

They are always the first to get to the chocolate biscuits at break time

Do you mean Hugh?

Stephen in Purchase Ledger (11.42.09) also likes Bev but he is 13 years younger than her and does not have the social skills to approach her.

He is friends with the bloke on here who goes to Games Workshop but I can't fnd the post!

Clive has never been married. He is, in fact a virgin depsite being 43. At school he was very good at PE and wanted to be a PE teacher but wasn't clever enough. Girls fancied him at school but he was too shy to do anything about it. After such a promising start he isn't sure what went wrong.

The highlight of his week is now waiting to catch glimpses of Bev when she comes for her Tai Chi class on a Tuesday. He has had 2 verbal warnings for "leering at women in the fitness classes". He was only looking a Bev, but he felt he couldn't admit that.

Clive desperately wants to butch up his appearance at bit in order to appeal to Bev and give himself the confidence to ask her out. For 3 months he has been trying to come up with a legitimate excuse to call at CSLogistics (he read it in her memebership profile) and manufacture a "Wow" I didn't know you worked here!" moment!

Freya has no idea Max exists.

brandnewhelsy · 19/07/2007 18:08

Bev just can't meet the right man. Either married or gay, the ones she falls for.

Clive loves Bev. He works at the gym where Bev works out. She thinks he's gay. He isn't.

Filchymindedvixen · 19/07/2007 18:06

Max is now obsessing about Freya. She's a yoga teacher in her late 20s with scandinavian blonde locks. She strides past his 'consultancy' office premises every morning on her way to fetch her chai from Neros.
She is seeing Olivier. a pseudo-french 'writer-musician' (ie plays the bongos) who has actually been unemployed for the past 5 years.

Phillipa wears shirts from TM Lewin and drives a recent-model Polo

Pippa wears rugby shirts covered in horse hair and drives a knackered old Polo

Pip is a spark up at the hospital. He knows the whole place would collapse without him. He keeps two budgies 'for the company' and smokes roll-ups.

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 17:50

Max had to leave.

He could not stand being controlled. He thought Julia was just becoming to obsessive.

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 17:47

Scott likes Charmain. He sometimes has to talk to her on the phone about parcels and packages that have got lost.

Charmain think Scott sounds quite nice but she couldn't think about going out with someone so dirty

Filchymindedvixen · 19/07/2007 17:46

ah no, she can't quite afford prep school despite doing rather well out of the divorce from Max

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 17:45

Is Julia the one with the four boys at prep school?

MrsScavo · 19/07/2007 17:45

During his teen years, Gavin regularly apeared on Kick Start. He now imports motorbike parts with his mate Scott. They sell them on line for a tidy profit.

Filchymindedvixen · 19/07/2007 17:44

Julia is big on committees. She is the head of the PTA.

her best mate and henchwoman is Alicia. She has a lovely little shop selling ''lovely things dahling''

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 17:40

Torquil is something in media.

He drives his girlfriends Golf and uses his parents house when they are on holiday.

He cannot understand why his salary does not match the lifestyle he deserves.

ShinyHarryPplHoldingPortkeys · 19/07/2007 17:33

Aw, I feel sorry for Bev

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 17:27

Beverly has been at CSLogistics as long as anyone can remember. She has the answers to all the queries and can run the office single handed for a fortnight whilst Himself is in Greece with the family.

Bev, as she likes to be called, has become the office mother figure. She can remember when Darren - hair gelled delivery driver - dumped Charmain (office assistant) the week before the works Christmas do and she has had to deal with not one but two false pregnancy alarms from girls on the front desk. The drivers give her a cheery wave through the window of a morning and a wink to the new girl on reception. She can't quite figure out why and when they stopped winking at her and became like their mothers. There have been jokes about her ample bosom and she has tried not to mind - but deep down she would like acrylic nails and go to the Kings Head on a Friday night - but she never does - somehome it does not feel right. Despite the bubbly personality and the bold prints, Bev is desperately shy.

At the weekends Bev takes a Tai Chi class and shops in town. She spends time looking after her balcony plants and doing the Puzzler.

If you're a playwrite looking for characters, this MUST be the best place to look.

There's enough stuff here for endless productions.

Gaynor " Just call me Gaye dear ... ha ha ... no, not like that ... ha ha " helps out on Wednesday's at the old folks luncheon club ..... she serves watery mash " well what with the dentures and all they find it a bit difficult to chew" and forces them to sing jolly songs about "hanging out the washing on the Seigfried Line" and " White Cliffs of soddin' Dover"

The old folk just want to be left alone to shout and fart at each other.

They wish Gaynor would just piss off to Lanzarote or whever it is that she and Dennis bought the time - share.

Jayne is nearly thirty. She is married to a husband she is bored with (who is actually very nice and deserves better than Jayne) and she goes through life arranging one "project" after another. Her biggest and best was to get her marriage blessed which she arranged in manner of a B list celeb wanting to bag a double page spread towards the back of OK magazine.

Every couple of years she has another baby.

She has terrible BO but nobody knows quite how to tell her.

Vulgar · 19/07/2007 17:11

Vanessa could sell Claude an ornate mirror but she has painted all hers white and lightly distressed them with sandpaper.

Claude would prefer a gold one.

and Vanessa's prices are simply outrageous.
