The fee one pays to the bar for removing a worker from a collective revenue earning position to a personal horizontal revenue earning position. Is that PC or what....LOL. :D Pete :cheers:

Pete, that’s so PC you’ve probably got some people thinking they’ve been paying it for the wrong reason!

I am know for drink and havinfg fun, But the only palce I had been had was in PTY

When I go to the SaS bars I know to look my tab.
I invite the ones I like to drink with me, and regularly check my bin myself

Having work in the bars myself I know what to look for andf can do the math myself

speeking of which, Next week TD in Bangers. after some work in BKK and othe rplace will be Back iN HH for a quick rest.

what is the situation in August like normally ( never was in HH that Time of Year) Weather wise, Partywise and so on?

Not all bars rip you off

Still, it's good to know where the few 'bad apples' are! :wink:
I have one favourite drinking hole that I have visited for several years. Not going to say where though because I get drinks given to me for free by the owner!

I am reminded of a story in the British press way back in the seventies when an Arab gentleman bought an ice-cream, handed over a £20 note and was given five pence change.

I guess the moral is that if you look like a soft-touch in ant country you will be ripped off.

You're more likely to be nipped off, surely? :thumb:

P.S. I'm not sure barrys would be considered a soft touch by anyone's standards.
This is the way
