Quite The Night Out
So last night I was told about a night out that some people had on Thursday. Basically a big night to mark the departure from a job, the departee had set himself a budget of £1000 to pay for everyone's evening. They ended up at a lapdancing place after eating and drinking, many dances and quite a lot of champagne were consumed, and the total amount our hero spent was £860.
However, one member of the party seems to have set up his own tab, and run up a separate bill for the (rather better) champagne that his new friend kept ordering, and the (rather more expensive) company of this same new friend.
So as he discovered when his credit card company called him on Friday morning to query some heavy transactions from the night before, he had added to the total evening cost to the tune of, ahem, a further £940.
I think the word 'ouch!' barely begins to cover it.....

Don’t know if it’s just me that can’t see the pound sign, but if it helps, it’s £ , or £ (depends how this comments system will render it *Grin*)

Sorry – me in a rush and just typing it rather than thinking about character rendering….

No worries, Jon – just thought I’d let you know in the name of cross-browser readability and blah blah blah. *Grin*
Oh, and “ouch” definitely applies too.
