Yes. I suppose face-to-face Moderation, would be a bit awkward

The advice given to me when rescuing someone is to face them towards you, so you can communicate efficiently, but cross arms and as they rise they twist and sit on the edge.

Problem is people who don't know the trade, think it's a cushy life. First thing you have to do in the morning is turn the key in the front door. Far from it, it is an unrelenting task. I will take you through an average Friday for me as a manager. 6am---- Get up and take off the alarm. Wait for dray lorry to turn up usually between 6:30 to 7 am, Put stock away. (The sorting out of stock was Thursday evening) Come back upstairs usually by 8am Let in the cleaner wait till they finish whilst restocking drinks. Finally, at 9:30am I can get a cup of tea and some breakfast. A shower and get myself sorted. Time to do the books daily entry from the day before. Sort out float in tills. check change situation for weekend and phone bank for change order. It's now 10:45 tills downstairs and into registers staff arrive. 11am open doors, customers start arriving. Turn on kitchen appliances get ovens hot. Make sure all is running smoothly. Rush upstairs and change into chefs whites come down and prep veg salads and such like. 12 midday restaurant opens. Cook until 2:15 Rush upstairs change and down to bank to collect change. Home, shower And back downstairs to run the bar for the afternoon maybe grab a cup of tea on the go usually cold by half a cup, do this until 5:15 Kitchen back on for food at 6pm change once again. Clean down kitchen from lunch cook until 9pm. Clean kitchen again. Upstairs shower change, back down to bar work until 11:30. Finally lock up. Turn off the lights Go upstairs reconcile the tills and float up for next day that's midnight and I'm still buzzing watch TV for an hour usually fall asleep in the chair. 7 hours later do it all over again less the dray. Yep another day in paradise. Did that for 6 and a half years no holidays as such. Be a landlord they say it will be fun! And don't mention all the drunks who want a fight, because you won't serve them anymore.

All Ford UK Parcel vans were built at Martin Walters Dormobile factory in Folkestone. I remember lots of Ford parts were delivered to Dormobile regularly. panels frames and boxes and boxes of lights and I'm sure mirrors. I was a Trade Plate delivery driver for Ford, At Dormobile Tile Kiln Lane most weekdays. Collecting and driving Parcel vans all over the UK and NI. Other duties included Ford fleet Press Cars. The rental company deliveries, Police cars And the royal visit Granada Estate fleet too. Even down to bare coach chassis during the Falklands conflict.(Boy was that cold in the winter) The mirrors were affixed to the top panel above the front sliding doors and hung down on quite long arms. They were the right height to catch on 30mph lollipop signs so plenty of passenger-side ones were casualties of that. All new vans were supplied in a khaki coloured primer never painted as lots of them went to conversion companies who turned them into buses, welfare buses with tail-lifts, Camper vans and lots more.
