INTVEEs live on the top storey of a three storey tenement block in a three apartment flat. They have lived in their flat for three years, coming to live here when male INTVEE retired. They go out together a lot to visit friends and regularly go on cruises. He retired at 65 and still won't go back to the docks as it upsets him, he got fed up being at home all the time but is getting used to it. He reads the Reader's Digest. His wife has a more active social life mainly connected with church affairs. She spends time at the Eastern Star and the White Shrine [?]. There are 4 children on the stair but they don't notice much noise. They had wanted a house nearer Leith but were told if they didn't take this one they would go to the bottom of the list. INTVER notes that this is a lie, they are allowed to refuse two properties before being put down the list and thinks this is a form of bullying on the part of the Corporation. The kitchen was filthy when they moved in. There had been some redecoration but they had to re-do it. They are happy with the house but there is a lack of cupboard space. Female INTVEE has a part time job, they don't need the money but she likes the companionship. They have both been to the doctor about their weight who has put them on a diet cutting out bread and sugar.
