Back in the early part of this millennium we had a betting shop in Shandon street on Cork's northside. I at the time would have been assistant managing director of the betting company and an odds compiler, but I liked to 'Dirty my hands' regularly and most Saturday afternoons after a mornings odds compiling I would work in the Shandon street shop, with strict instructions to the shop manager (whom I trained as a youth); "You are the Boss, I'm the Hired Help, you call the shots", and that worked well fer many years.
