by Stephen Moran (Editor)

"A while back, when I was going through a bit of a tough time, this guy I knew, Paul, bought himself a restaurant, and when it was still pretty new and he'd spent all his money on forks and skewers and real people who knew how to run a restaurant, he asked if I would help out, and I said yes because I didn't have a job and I didn't seem to be capable of getting a job and I didn't have a clue how to get myself out of the hole I'd fallen into." (The opening sentence of Work by Jo Lloyd).
