Artikelbeschreibung
Do not let them get the flat, Bertie.
These are Lily Lukashenkos dying words to her son. Desperate not to lose their lovely Lubetkin-designed council flat, Bertie panics and takes home the old dear in the hospital bed next to his death mother to impersonate Lily. What could possibly go wrong? It is a plan, he thinks, with no obvious flaws.
Unfortunately Inna, the dotty old lady, takes her role as Berties mum very seriously. Far from keeping a low profile she quarrels with the neighbours, plies him with ethnic delicacies, interferes in his love life, and tries to set him up with the beautiful half-Kenyan girl next door. With the council getting suspicious, developers making threats and a hasty funeral to arrange, Bertie knows he is in need of help.
But in twenty-first century Britain we are all told we have to help ourselves.
