OK but can we use your bottle. I'm not opening mine.

Sorry, I've already finished mine. Really took the edge off my Pepsi Light. A delight.

I could have sold you a 2004 Pepsi Max for €10,000.

I wouldn't do that. He'd just hoard it for 2 years and then sell it to me for €15,000.

Iain, could you lend me 10,000. I'll tell you what it's for in two years.

Why don't I just buy it from David now for 15K. He could then give you 5K commission and save you the storage costs.

Just visited TWE and saw this bottle listed - instead of a price it just said 'Contact Us'. That's the best deal I've seen anywhere - a £100,000 (thanks Zoltan) bottle for just the price of a phone call. For that deal I'd even throw in a free fax or an e-mail :D

Actually, considering it's now 10 times :shock: what I thought it was originally I had better throw in both a fax and an e-mail just to be sure to seal the deal!!

To be honest, when you go past £10,000 per bottle I don't think anyone is really counting :lol:
