The year is 1971, decimalization has been introduced, Middle of the Road
charting with Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep. Polly, a young struggling
assistant on the Carterton Gazette, gets her first assignment. While
trapped in a public house with local shoppers and market stallholders,
she discovers a lot about the people and learns about their memories.
From faggot making, joining the RAF, Saturday
night dances, Jiving, Quickstep and seeing the all female Ivey Benson
band in 1954, Polly comes away with a story that interests a well known
Women's magazine.
