Paul is my best friend he is from a well off family and he turned up at my house one day in June and asked if i wanted to head out to Portugal with him for the summer, His parents had a 2 bedroom villa out there and they were not planning on going out there this year, He had convinced them it would be a good idea if the 2 of us went out there to look after the place for the summer and get bar jobs when we were there to pay our way, i sat there listening to him explain how he had convinced them.
