First Time Barmaid
by Louise Tonner (Author), Julie Peasgood (Narrator)
very, very simple English
from Introduction:
"...I'm a single mother of two boys. I've had a few part-time jobs and this story is about my first day at one of them. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Dedicated to my late mother, Patricia Tonner, who would often say , "you never know what you can do until you try." Without her encouragement I wouldn't have fulfilled my dream. Thank you, Mam. Also dedicated to my two sons Stephen and John.
It's my first night as a barmaid and it's my local pub. I'm scared stiff, I've never pulled a pint before. Bar people are out-going and chatty. I'm pretty quiet and shy.
"Why did I let you talk me into this job in the first place?" I say to may friend as we're walking to the pub.
"Come on, you'll love it. Just get tonight over with and tomorrow I'll be on with you. We'll have a good laugh," she says, laughing.
"That's if I get through tonight," I mutter..."

Nick Hornby - About a Boy (Audiobook+Text)
Will Lightman is a Peter Pan for the 1990s. At 36, the terminally hip North Londoner is unmarried, hyper-concerned with his coolness quotient, and blithely living off his father's novelty-song royalties. Will sees himself as entirely lacking in hidden depths--and he's proud of it! The only trouble is, his friends are succumbing to responsibilities and children, and he's increasingly left out in the cold. How can someone brilliantly equipped for meaningless relationships ensure that he'll continue to meet beautiful Julie Christie-like women and ensure that they'll throw him over before things get too profound? A brief encounter with a single mother sets Will off on his new career, that of "serial nice guy." As far as he's concerned--and remember, concern isn't his strong suit--he's the perfect catch for the young mother on the go. After an interlude of sexual bliss, she'll realize that her child isn't ready for a man in their life and Will can ride off into the Highgate sunset, where more damsels apparently await. The only catch is that the best way to meet these women is at single-parent get-togethers. In one of Nick Hornby's many hilarious (and embarrassing) scenes, Will falls into some serious misrepresentation at SPAT ("Single Parents--Alone Together"), passing himself off as a bereft single dad: "There was, he thought, an emotional truth here somewhere, and he could see now that his role-playing had a previously unsuspected artistic element to it. He was acting, yes, but in the noblest, most profound sense of the word."
