65. Free electricity

When searching for an electrical socket in an establishment serving beer, it is not recommended that you either seek the advice of any staff member or ask their permission to use such a socket to charge your mobile phone or iPod. The reasons are many and varied. Ones encountered on our journey include the inability to understand simple English, not understanding simple energy requirements of such devices, not being able to sit close to a socket unless you are dining, having to ask other members where such sockets are found and having to seek the permission of a person in a high position of authority such as a chambermaid, a cloakroom attendant or khazi cleaner.
So the best advice is stealth. Get your crew to scramble within the establishment and independently search the premises without looking guilty. Starting in dark corners is a good bet and as far away as possible from spying eyes of any dutiful staff.
