I worked there for about 3 weeks in December 1979, I had just arrived in
London from a Top Deck Kathmandu to London trip & wanted somewhere to work &
stay for a couple of weeks before heading to Sweden for Christmas with my
Sister. The driver from the trip had advised the Governor was an OK bloke &
helped Kiwi’s. I went & saw him, he said they had no job’s but because where
I was staying was a bit expensive, he said move in tomorrow & he’d fit me
in. I arrived the next day and he said just go around & pick up glass’s, one
of the other Kiwi’s there got me serving beer’s etc & worked there till I
left for Sweden just before Christmas. Story, I remember most was at either
end bar there was a large bottle of Whiskey with a nip pourer, (I remember
one was Bells) & customer’s would come in & they had to have the whiskey
from the bottle they requested, if we got it from the wrong bottle they
refused it, as they could taste the difference. Well just before I left, I
was down in the cellar & here was the Governor filling both bottles from the
same crate of whisky bottles. |
