The Happy Mondays are in the charts, a 15-year-old called Kate Moss is on the cover of The Face magazine, and Julia Roberts wears thigh-high boots for the poster of a new movie called Pretty Woman . This Could Be Everything is a coming-of-age story with its roots under the pavements of a pre-Richard Curtis-era Notting Hill that has all but vanished.
