Happy 21st Birthday to our Jakey! ๐ฆ๐ป
Weโve known Jake (and his twin Reilly!) since the day they were born. But a few years ago, Jake started working alongside Dad and has been put through his paces ever since. Heโs become Dadโs right-hand man, little workmate and occasional verbal punchbag ๐
Unfortunately for Jake, one stack boss wasnโt enough, and he somehow got roped into working behind the bar for me too.
Over the last 18 months, with the building work at ours, Jakeโs practically become part of the furniture. Countless breakfasts, plenty of dinners and a suspicious amount of time spent in our b**r fridge over the summer. Heโs also Wilbsโ favourite football opponent, having spent many an hour kicking a ball around with him. โฝ๏ธ
Heโs one of those lads whoโs always there when you need a hand, never makes a fuss and communicates almost exclusively through the words โsoundโ, โye okayโ and โcheersโ. A man of few words, unless Dadโs telling him off, in which case he probably wishes heโd said even fewer. ๐ฅด
Heโs currently on holiday celebrating, and we think heโs still alive. Hard to tell from the texts! All jokes aside, Jake really has become part of our family, both at home and here at the pub ๐ฆ๐บ
See ya Monday ๐
