It'll probably end up getting took back out.
Was the meal nice?
More importantly, was she nice afterwards?

Weird money thing - cash returned to my account

An authorisation code is valid for around 60 days, although in most cases the money is claimed within 3 working days, before the transaction has a chance to drop off the banks systems. I would advise you to contact your bank, as they will be able to tell you exactly what has happened, ie if the transaction just hasn't been claimed, or if it was reversed.
The meal was great but no, she wasn't nice afterwards. What's the bloody point if you don't get sex afterwards, I say [NB - this is not an entirely serious comment].
Vixen - thanks for the advice, I may just do that.

No - Harrods isn't that good anyway. I'd never go there for a decent meal, there are far better places.
doubt it. i think harrods charge £100 for a cup of tea!
they certainly did when i was there a week ago!
Lysander, whereabouts in North London do you live? i'm in Woodside Park...
Harrods is a massive rip-off, I used to work there. I loved the job but the prices they charge for worthless pap are insulting. It's mostly a shop for tourists, it doesn't offer much for anyone else.
Aod - I live in Muswell Hill, my road is about five minutes' walk from Highgate station. Not far from you at all.

I think he is "saying" that now he has no money but could afford (at the time [a £100 meal])
Yesterday I went out with 3 friends at a decent Italian resturant and it only came to £65. Hardly a takeaway.
There's always one.

Thought you was Mr Higgins for a second there!

No, but clearly a cheap restaurant.
£100 doesn't seem to bad to me, especially if you had decent wine.
£65 for three people is either a cheap restaurant or a very good value restaurant. I can believe there are places where you could have a very decent meal for that, though I don't believe you could have drunk a huge amount with your meal.
I'm surprised some people are questioning £100 for a meal. If you're going somewhere decent [and I don't mean Cafe Rouge] you should expect to pay something in the region of £100-£150, and more if you're going to town on the wine.

I think £100 for a meal is fine if, as you say, you're drinking decent wine. If I take the missus out, a nice meal would cost approx £30 each. This is with soft drinks as neither of us drink alcohol.
£100 doesn't sound remotely ridiculous to me if you're going out for something special. Or, in fact, if you're happily rich and you're not.
I find it slightly amusing that the thought of spending £100 on a meal surprises people on these forums while the thought of spending £1500 on a new PC doesn't...

Well, to be fair. You get much more use from a PC and it lasts a lot longer than one meal and some drinks.
