I think it would help if we dealt with facts here. OK last years bill may have been £30.
Dealing in realtime I always think it helps to see the bill before shelling out cash rather than doing some form of drink assisted guestimate, taking away the number one first thought of etc.
The world would be in a sorry old state if we all just said - "Well, I think I've had a fivers worth there you go lads"
I seem to have developed an intimate relationship with the London Undreground system this past 2 days but that didn't mean that in order to get value for money when travelling from Gloucester Road to Leicester Square - I stayed on till Cockfosters because I had a ticket that got me to Docklands.
Headline cost was £22.5 head, learnt actual cost was £45 /head so was £20 short
questions
1) How much brandy was drank after we left
2) Who checked the friggin bill
3) On the basis that its all tooo complicated to unravel, to what charity should I donate £20 ((2*45)-70)?
Nnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooo.
We don't get away with this so easily - naebody's worried aboot ra money - we've a' invested several poonds here tae mak ye squirrrrrmmmm ma wee mannie - ah see this goin oan tull Easter masel
1) no brandy drunk after ye left, or anything else afaik
2) professional invoice-inspectors were involved with actuarial analyist too.
3) huh! you can't pay it back - where's the fun in that? I mean, if it wasn't this it'd be the rudder, and if it wasn't the rudder there's the holding tank.
Tough, I've already used the savings on bailing out Para and his missus.
Briefly Para and HSWMBO smashed up the train and got lifted by ra fuzz when the train was stopped at reading, he is now in Guatanemo Bay for possessing a british rail sandwich disguised as a teak table. A ppolice spokesman said "Never have so many been stuck in the loo!"
