Sadie and Norman have been married for 23 years and she swears that he has no idea what she does in the house. He's not listening because he's too busy watching TV!

Norman and Sadie both end up at the doctors - Norman because his back is breaking and Sadie because her nerves are going the same way! The doctor seems less than interested in either of their complaints.

Sadie decides that 23 years is long enough to live in a house where the bathroom is too small, the kitchen overlooked and the living is gloomy. Norman agrees because that's what he has been brainwashed to do.
