    OR DID YOU BOOK IT IN A RIDICULOUS ATTEMPT TO IMPRESS HER AND FEEL BITTER WHEN SHE FAILED TO OFFER TO PAY AT LEAST HALF?


    Not that this is familiar, or anything.
    I think the title sums it up

    'Flash the cash' = attempt to impress the lady.

        I suppose there is that.

        If you're earning a fair pot, and your date is skint it's unfair to go to expensive restaurants unless you're prepared to foot the bill.

          It always comes out of my account so I just accept defeat and pay anyway.

            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                All I read initially was "Do you flash for cash"
                I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.

                  At least that explains the empty Asda Smartprice dog food tins in the recycling bin.

                    She told me it was Tesco Finest! I knew there should have been more jelly in there.

                      Once it's past its best before date I expect it's hard to tell the difference.
