Really? I thought you were forty something.
Only because you're a pub manager and they all seem to be old and fat, mind.

Being 25 means he has to ask himself for ID everyday before he can serve drinks.

yeah,
people always seem surprised that i run a pub at my age, beause they find it hard to equate that sort of success in a chosen career with their own lives, where they are nearly 40 and still working for someone else.

Perhaps. I could see a bar manager being 26.
But with pubs it seems there's an expectation that it's something people take up later in life, rather than some measure of success. I'm not sure the general opinion really considers pub managers to be successful career-people. I don't mean to put you down or anything there, but I think it's something that people expect to retire to, or as a career change.

fair enough,
but if everything works out according to plan, I'll have my own pub in the next couple of years.

My mate ran a pub at your age, then went to uni at 27 the same year as me.
He's now moaning about losing all his child benefit so he's going to be making good money.

to be honest,
i was just seeing if i could find anyone to get riled up, i'm aware that it's not something i want to be doing for much longer, unless i can actually buy my own pub, i've hit a ceiling.

So you shouldn't, it buggers up the varnish when you have to unstick them
