Until I moved above the pub I was working in of course! Don't know if I could deal with the 12 hour shifts and 4am finishes while I have the kids though..


Indeed. Honestly, a lot of the time I find being at home much much more stressful than I ever found work. At least I could have a crap at work without someone popping their head round the door to whinge that someone else has hit them with a spoon r something..

The split shifts were a pain in the hole aswell. There's no way I would have been doing that with young kids either and you can't be doing lock ins every second night if you have smallies either. I always wanted to run my own pub because I actually really enjoyed the work itself but it would be a whole life style choice really and too restricting I think

Yeah that was my plan..I actually still have a valid personal license. Think it runs out in 2 years or something.
