how much?
On a big works do with the marketing department for a (that there) London Tv station, we all met in Number 1 Aldwych. Its a hotel bar, in the lobby. Nowt spesh. I rocked up a little late, and seeing that noone was drinking pints of pedigree, and there was nothing resembling beer on tap, i opted for the highly cosmopolitan vodka tonic. The barman turned to the optic of red smirnoff and dished out a single shot. Reaching under the bar he pulled out a room temperature bottle off schweppes tonic water and uncapped that. Two ice cubes later and he presented me with a bill for £9! I nearly fell over, but in the spirit of playing fair, I clenched my teeth and handed over a tenner. He vanished to do the do with the money, then started serving someone else. After he had dealt with a couple of people, I called him over to ask after my £1 change. He looked at me with wide eyed incredulity and uttered the immortal words "that sir was the tip". I left. cunt
