On my 18th birthday I walked into a local pub and asked if I could have a jobThe landlord employed me cos he was impressed with my nerve. I didn't realise this at the time, having never been drinking in a local pub by that point (because Rock City was in Nottingham city centre), but it was the roughest pub in a 3 mile radius. It was there that I learnt to duck.

*sigh* Here's how it worked, Nakers.I went to school in Nottingham rather than my local comp because I was (emphasis on past tense) quite clever. The few friends I made were more interested in drinking in pubs in the city centre than coming all the way across the county to my home town. Plus, Rock City was in the city centre, and we used to go there. Local pubs round my way held no appeal for me until the prospect of earning a wage, and learning to duck, became available.
