Michael Duffy profile »
After 25 years of looking after the rich and occasionally famous in luxury hotels in London, Scotland & Wales Michael has looked after the rich and famous at The Three Crowns in Bushey Heath since 2003.
As well as serving the community at large Michael has served time as a Watford FC season ticket holder and makes up in enthusiasm what he lacks in skill in his own Tuesday night games
“I like to treat customers the way I`d like to be treated and my blog will simply be about the daily life in a community pub and my efforts to convince those that I pay money to that I am a customer too.”
Fans of call centres, company policies and the word no may wish to log off now.

No need to apologise
How often do you find yourself paying for something in a shop or pub with an apology along the lines of “ Sorry, do you mind if I get rid of all this change…” ?

Memories of Wednesdays
A good result tonight, perhaps Watford should play all their games on a Friday night ?
