I work Hotel Conquistador. I clean room, make bed.’ John One had come into the bar and headed straight for the girl. ‘You can make my bed any day, love,’ he said, putting his arm round her shoulders. She pulled away from him, eyes wide in horror. Even John was surprised at the reaction and raised his palms to apologise. Did you come to Tenerife by yourself?’ continued Joy. No. I come with boyfriend but now I have big trouble.’ Her head lowered even more.

If I follow what Joe says, it’s only because I agree,’ said Joy, ‘not because I’m some obedient lap dog. I do have my own mind you know.’ I’m not an equal partner though, am I?’ replied Faith, ‘I mean, come on, at the end of the day we’re never going to do what I want are we?’ If we agree on it, yes, we’ll do what you want. But the majority have to agree on it,’ said David, trying to appease her. With Faith’s argument running out of steam, this usually brought on another apron-de-robing, door-slamming episode.
Joy had instigated this trend by offering to provide ‘work experience’ to one young holidaymaker who had followed her round all week awestruck, and announced, with all the seriousness that a six-year-old talking about careers could muster, that she intended to be a waitress when she grew up. Naturally this set a trend with other children. ‘Can I help, can I help?’ One week we had a supplementary staff of nine junior Smugglers cleaning tables, washing glasses and delivering a round of drinks one at a time. In times of extreme business it was helpful to have extra glass collectors but sometimes it wasn’t possible to get behind the bar without trampling on at least a couple of mini recruits. We have a table reserved for eight. Name’s Connaught-Smith.’ The man leaned into Joy as if facial proximity would overcome any possible confusion. He wore beige slacks and a long-sleeved silk shirt topped with a gold cravat. The other members of the party were equally eccentrically attired. One lady wore what appeared to be a resting stoat around her neck. They swept through the bar towards table one like a troupe of variety performers. One of the party made a show of running her finger along one of the tabletops and shared the result, aghast.
