Holy Soho!

Last night some kind of miracle happened - possibly a skewed modern version of Jesus's feeding of the five thousand on a smaller scale. The Flea managed to find a drinks promotion where you get 50% off vouchers to use in various bars so he met up with a few friends for an evening's entertainment at one of these establishments in Soho. The voucher rules stated that their usage was limited to one transaction per person per night and the Flea spotted a loophole.

He set up a tab and the drinking commenced - bottles of wine, jugs of cocktails, beers plus some food all resulted in quite a session. When it came to paying the tab, the Flea used the voucher and the bar staff couldn't reject it as he was using it on a single transaction for the first time that night, in full accordance with the rules. When the final bill was split amongst the group, everybody paid only £7 for the whole evening's food and drink. Something happened there because that means the full price per person was still only £14 which, for the huge amount that was consumed and London prices, can only be described as miraculous.

However, for those involved the cheap night was paid for this morning in hangover currency.
