Liquid Currency.... BEER!

[Tinks]

I've had front end alingments done on my car for a slab, also had my airconditioner gassed for a slab.

Last week we got a huge truck load of wood, the guy didn't want anything so we bought him a slab.

DH got some 4x4 tyres last month, again the guy didn't want money so we bought him a slab.

People around here pretty much do anything for beer

i've never paid for any plumbing supplies - nor have my parents from when we moved when i was 6 - one of our neighbours is the supply manager at a plumbing place. he won't accept anything at all, so once a year (we space them through the year) he gets a slab from each of us. when my hot water service died, i paid cost price for the actual service, but the labour was free (from his employees - his boss doesn't care). Got the whole house changed from Gal to copper pipe, with water filters etc when i first moved in - didn't pay for any of it. he wouldn't let me!

have helped many people move for a slab.

i did all the invites/place cards etc for an (ex) friends wedding for a slab of cruisers (she didn't pay - it was not the reason we are no longer friends lol)

We tend to have a Bundy currency around here as most of hubby's friends are bundy drinkers...

although... DH is helping a friend with some landscaping - and we have massage currency for that one! two hours of DH working means a one hour massage for one of us - sweeeeeeeeeet!

My neighbour does our front nature strip for eggs

When mates help you move, it's repaid by BBQ and beer

you know what, you'd think that the marketing department of CUB would have come up with an advertising campaign by now promoting the 'slab currency'

hasn't that already been used by Tooheys or something?

Most recently.

While we were away, my Dad's dog got out while DH was working, and a man took it in rather than surrendering it to the RSPCA. He took it to the RSPCA to check for microchipping, and called us. When I said that Dad and I were away, and DH was working, he took the dog home to look after it for us, so we took him a carton of beer for his generosity (although I think he wants to keep the dog, LOL)

DH got 2 gas tanks for cars for a carton of beer each.
