Laura Davy has been the manager at Quintos restaurant since 2001. Quintos is a popular restaurant, and oftenhas as many as five hundred customers every evening.

Restaurant work was not what she intended to do. She started studying music at the university, but then left towork in a restaurant. My family didnt agree with my choice, but it was very clear to me that that was wh at Iwanted to do. She did a bit of everything and learned quickly. She started training as a chef, but soon realised shewas better at restaurant management.

Davy now divides her time between the restaurant floor and the office. She sometimes regrets spending somuch time in the office and misses being with customers. I have to arrive at the office very early. There are alwaysa lot of kitchen supplies to order and bills to pay before meeting staff. If I have a really busy day in the office, Ileave around 7, just before people arrive in the restaurant.

Davy manages about 140 staff and knows how important they are to the business. Staff sometimes leave

Quintos to work in other restaurants or travel abroad. Davy accepts that she cannot always keep staff. If theyvealready made their decision, theres no point saying anything. But if they come back at a later date, Im happy to re -employ them.

Last night I went to see Bennie, the musical which has just opened in the Albert Theatre in London.There is of course already both a film and a book called Bennie about a child who becomes a famous singer.

I enjoyed the book, so I was excited when I heard about the film. I was disappointed, however, when I finally sawit, because unfortunately they managed to make all the amusing parts of the book seem serious. It was also long andslow. I came to the musical without much hope, but it was more entertaining than the film.

Most of the parts in musicals Ive seen recently have been for young actors. In several, as in Bennie, themain part is for a child. I was surprised, therefore, when I realised at one point, that three quarters of the people on

stage were at least forty or over, and some of them are very well known.I noticed that quite a few people didnt buy the programme. The main complaint was that it was too expensive.

While it cost more than most programs, it was worth it. I didnt have time to read it all in the interval, as its hugeand full of details, but its a lovely souvenir to take home.
