How much is a "Drink"?

fat_jedi

Our mechanic says that he can fix a problem on the car for a "drink".

Should I offer him a can of coke or some squash?

Just joking - I know he means money, but how much is a "drink" in this circusmtance - a pint down the pub is about £2 - £2.50

Would £5 be enough or does he want to get leathered?

I find it's generally between £10 and £20

I usually say anything from a £5 to £50 is a drink, depends on the job he's doing for you, and how long it'll take.

£10 - £20 i would say.

when my washing machine broke down a friends friend fixed it i gave him £10 when he asked for a drink

A bottle of whiskey or vodka sometime does the trick too

When I was in the Motor trade a 'drink' usually meant the price of a bottle of spirits.

£5 - may be a touch offended - think round of drinks with his mates rather than a pint for him £5 not going to go far

£10 - neutral feeling - not offended - bot overjoyed

£20 - - that's lovely! next time he'll replace a bulb for free, or something similar


I'd give him £20, as I'd rather have someone onside to help when I couldn't do it myself, getting something to do anything to car for under £20 is a miracle

if i say a i'll fix it for a drink it means £20:beer:

although some old duffers still think a pint is 50p:eek:

I had my old dear asking how much a pint was once, I asked her why and she said because so and so was going to do some work for her for a drink. I had to explain to her that it was £10 to £20. Bless her naivity
