they were offering free entry to a club called Tantric Blue (Colnebrook By Pass SL3 0EH if your'e interested) normal entry £ 30! I gather it is a gentlemens establishment.
What was it like?

That kind of thing is absolutely standard corporate hospitality in the defence business - especially with Muslim customers

Many years ago I was a sub-sub-contractor on a piece of military hardware for the Egyptian Navy. Upon delivery, all contractors were required to be "around" in case of problems. All went well and a huge dinner was laid on for a dozen uniformed Egyptians in a discrete restaurant in Godalming. £500 bottles of vintage port all around (for the customers only, not us lot). Afterwards they were shipped off to an upmarket brothel down the road, to sample more Western hospitality All built into the contract price of course.
