One of my first jobs was working in a pub a couple of towns over from where I lived. It wasn’t a very large pub but had a beer garden and a couple B&B flats to the rear of the building in the alley that ran down the side of the pub. In addition to the B&B flats there was a share house where one of there country hotels provided housing for any staff that required it. Naturally the hotel staff were regulars at my pub and I became quite friendly with them over the course of the summer.
Towards the end of the summer one of the hotel staff, Sophie, was having a fancy dress party in the house share to celebrate her 23rd birthday which I was invited too despite only being 19 at the time. The theme was things beginning with S so I went as a surfer dude and my manager who was also invited went as a Sheikh. We were working the late shift the night of the party so it was already in full swing by the time we closed up shop and made our way over to join the festivities.
