Once a two-car family, Juliet had made the ultimate sacrifice and sold her beloved Mini. Owing to the seemingly relentless economic meltdown worldwide, the Dwyers now struggled to keep up their mortgage payments.

Vincent’s wife, Juliet had also been unfortunate concerning her short career as a schoolteacher. The highly skilled workforce manufactured Terrier army vehicles, such as tanks. A fitter by trade, Vincent was made redundant from BAE Systems, where he had been employed for five years. Vincent Dwyer, at the age of thirty had recently joined the incessant band of British craftsmen, deemed unworthy of maintaining stable employment.
