Re: Barbary Coast

There was a problem if you (female) drank on the Barbary Coast and bought your shoes at Tommy Balls - where they used to write the price (OF THE SHOES!!) on the sole in biro. Not only could you be beseiged by men looking for the lowest price (I seem to remember the shoes were about 6/6 - i.e. 32.5p), you could be attacked by the ladies of the night for undercutting them!
