In order to even make ends meet, for five nights a week Arthur worked in Tom's Bowling Alley and Fun Factory. The Fun Factory part was a range of rusty climbing frames covered with a tarpaulin: it had been closed down early that summer after a five-year-old child had fallen on to the mouth of a rough sleeper. The bite marks had appeared on the front cover of the Daily News, and a national campaign, backed by the Prime Minister, had been started to have the teeth removed from all homeless people. Several high-profile dentists had come on board, and a crowd-funding site had been set up. Donators could go for a single incisor, a molar, a wisdom tooth or- the piece de resistance- a whole mouth. A well-known reality TV star had sponsored the first whole mouth, and had appeared on the front page of several national newspapers with his arm around the homeless man whose teeth he had paid to have removed. Rumour had it that the homeless man had been snapped up by a literary agent and a cookbook was in the works, Eating Without Teeth, with a potential follow-up already on the cards, The Art of Sucking and Seeing.
