Potholes

Philip and Sophie Nibs are a young couple singled out by their friends for the apparent bliss of their marriage although they aren't quite convinced themselves that their union is quite as idyllic as others may think

While having coffee at a cafe they are joined by a friend, Leonard Joy, who, like the others, rhapsodizes on the Nibs' happy state, while lamenting his own inability to establish a solid, lasting relationship with a member of the opposite sex

Urged on by his friends, Leonard makes a halting approach toward a very attractive young lady, Debra Scattergood, who is enjoying her newspaper at an adjacent table

But when his overtures are positively received poor Leonard is suddenly flustered and unsure of what to do next...
