This image is from Martin Parr's exhibition and accompanying book Bored Couples, published by Agnes B./Galerie Du Jour, 1993.

Colour photographs depict twenty bored couples who have run out of things to say to each other. The book design allows the viewer to open it from the front and from the back, so it reads French one way and English the other. Designed by Peter Brawne. Printed by Balding and Mansell, Norwich. Softback.

You can see several pages from the book on Parr's official website: https://www.martinparr.com/books/#gallery/8__3470940330/193

Curly bread, old fella with lashings of Brylcreem and a sticky plastic table cloth, pretty much sums up 1980s Brighton
