Then remember DECI, million Lira restaurant bills but a great currency to play poker in.
"Your 5 grand and up another 10!"; "How much is that to me?"; "About 2 quid!"
I remember going to a restaurant with our crews and looking at the prices and gulping, even after conversion I was still gulping when thinking how much I'd brought out with me, the boss was sitting next to me and said don't worry we will all split the bill, so the boss and myself had a stunning meal, the rest of the crew and engineers having seen the prices went cheap... At the end of the meal the boss stood up announced the best way to do this was pool the bills and split it.... Priceless, expensive come cheap meal
Still remember Deci Red bought in 5 litre plastic bottles behind the German bar. Needed to be mixed with something to water it down to a consumable level, paint stripper, thinners, trich, MEK, all come to mind as suitable mixers.
