If you've ever been on a package holiday you will
recognise all the elements gathered here in some

Extract
Shaun was oblivious to Hilary's mood. He'd ordered squid and was clearly taken aback when it didn't come in neat battered rings but, rather, a
sizeable white valve complete with nodules and
tentacles. Undeterred, he proceeded to cut it into
neat pieces and surreptitiously flick them out to
the skeletal cats by the beach. As she
concentrated on the romance of the floor show, she
was still aware of Shaun, clapping along,
determined to show his appreciation. She'd been so
willing to find the good in him when she came back
from the pool, but the reality was this gurning
buffoon she now beheld. If he so much as shouted
'Ole!' or 'Bravo!' she was getting up and walking
off. No messing.
