yup, in my first job, also in the 80s we went to some exhibition then took loads of clients and competitors out for a huge meal and drinking cocktails in some crappy west end bar "Peppermint Park" - my boss and me then spoofed with our competitors for the bill, we lost, then I had to spoof for the bill with my boss, and lost....luckily he signed my expenses, but I wasn't sure he would as he was paralytic on the evening and the bill was two months take home for me...luckily pole dancing wasn't in the UK then
