    I used to work in the Landore Social Club back in my teenage years, collecting the glasses. Had a great year doing this.

    Go in Saturday mornings to stick the shelves, pick up my wages for the week before, grab two Lewis pasties then catch the bus into town to watch the Swans when at home. Then back in Saturday night to collect band wash up glasses, then do the same on the Sunday stick shelves then back for the night. Girls serving would be good as gold and a few half of lagers were put on the side for me. :)

    Christmas was a good earner, worked a Boxing Day this was a men only event. The one girl was in the concert room in the corner bar and I was collecting glasses, and sticking the shelves. Needless to say we earned a packet in tips, it was a bit embarrassing at times walking past the stage to turn round and see a full snatch nearly in your face. Happy days.

    The money being spend onto try to improve the appearance and facilities is coming from Government funding not our poll taxes/rates /community charge
