Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Normally I'd condemn such behaviourBut this chap has a point.
Was visiting Chicagos in Norwich last year while staying with a friend. Within two minutes a large crowd of friendly ladies invited us to join them. Within four minutes they invited us to buy all six of them drinks. My friend and I did the decent thing, asked them what they wanted and fled the place without looking back.
It's not that we were lacking the means or the chivalry, but I'm damned if I'm going to be taken for a mug by someone who seriously thinks that me funding her drinks all night is a great return on a level of conversation and wit which cannot stretch beyond screeching "innit! Nahahahaha!" every ten seconds.
