MICHAEL CARRIGAN


Born: 6 June 1977 at the Simpson's Maternity Hospital, Edinburgh

Q: When/why did you first start drinking in the Tynecastle Arms?

Why do you keep going in?:

A: I'm now trainee assistant manager

Q: What do you like best about working in the Tynecastle Arms?

A: It's easy to get to from all over town, I get on with most of the clientelle and I enjoy the occasional cheeky vimto (a bottle of Blue WKD in a pint glass, topped up with port)

Q: What don't you like about working in the Tynecastle Arms?

A: The double shifts - I'm doing 12 till 12 today and I'm knackered because it was the first game of the season; the lack of breaks and the fact there are no staff drinks allowed
