No shit. That's such a small world. I'm so glad Billy Byrnes is still there! I can't remember anyone's names, it's been too long - but is Mrs. Byrnes still here and with us? She was so damn great to work for. Her son, I barely knew him, but he was away working - I think abroad? - and that's how I landed the job, to fill in for him. But she was fantastic. She comped us a pint after every shift, and thought it was great fun that I asked to bank them all for special occasions.

There was also a gentlemen who came in for coffee every day, as he could no longer stomach alcohol, and he was a local artist of some renown. He drew a couple portraits of me, and I still have them - in fact, I'm looking at them rolled up right now!
