Chapter Seven

‘One more go. You’ll get it,’ Danny, the manager of the union bar, tells me a few days later.

‘I have to get it. Or you’ll fire me on day one,’ I reply, attempting to pull yet another pint. I’ve had a couple of goes. I’m crap. I thought this would be a breeze, but the white foamy head on each pint I pull is the size of a tower block. The actual beer measure is minuscule.

Every time someone orders one, Danny rushes over, watches me like a hawk, places his hand on mine on the pump and guides me on how to do it. He winces as I get it wrong another time. I’ve been here about an hour. I’m surely getting it wrong too much to last the day.

‘Don’t fire me yet,’ I plead, making Danny laugh. I thought I’d ace this. How hard can working behind a bar be? Now that I’m eighteen I can work behind a bar, whereas all the other hospitality jobs I’ve had have been ferrying plates of food back and forth.
