Fair enough I was wrong. But would suggest that a number of commentators also have it wrong.

Anyway now stuck at airport and have a nasty idea that the beers here are expensive. Bloody flight delays.

What? A pint? 2 quid?

At least it's not R45.00 like it is here.............

Nah, wasn't even a pint I'd say. Would be R12 at my club which is where I should be

I would have no liver left, sir. It would be like yellow pate.

Still the pints I'm on about f*ck you so heavily in the mind, maybe they're worth the R45.
