A few years back I had a similar experience when I was part of my company's UK management team. We'd were at a two day customer service seminar and in the evening we went out on the town. I can't remember where we ended up but it was somewhere dead posey owned by some celeb or another. The people in there were all total fashion victims and completely up themselves and apparently there were a few famous footballers in (I wouldn't have known this because I can't stand football and don't know what anybody looks like apart from a few England players).

The place itself was nothing special apart from the decor trying to look ultra cool (but only managing to reach a tacky gold bracelet, stretch limo type of 'cool').

We had had a good year as a management team, broken all our targets and what have you, so my boss decided to buy some champagne to celebrate. There were 8 of us, so he bought 4 bottles. God knows how he got the bill through on his expense account... £2000 for four bottles...Yep, £500 a bottle for ordinary Moet & Chandon which is about 20 times the price down the offy.

How the other half live...suckers
