ICM re your bar price list - I was telling someone recently that I used to buy 20 Rothmans for a shilling (5p) in Aden and they didnt believe me. There's the proof! I've just Googled the current price - £9.50 in Tescos! I make that a 19,000% increase.
I remember being given 200 free fags every Christmas both in Aden and Bahrain, courtesy of HM Customs who were disposing of their confiscated stock. Can you imagine the shock and horror in the faces of the PC/Health Police if this happened these days!
