 We thought £10 for a cocktail was expensive – which it is, really – but not in comparison to this…

The ‘Gigi’s’, pronounced “gee-gees”, is aimed squarely at the fabulously rich of Mayfair, where property regularly fetches over £40million.

Made with a vintage champagne and an ultra-rare armagnac that pre-dates the Boer War, the result is described as 'liquid gold' and will set you back £8,888.

That's equivalent to a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage, a Rolex Submariner, or renting a private jet to fly a family of five to the Mediterranean and back.

The makers claim the Gigi's tops the world's most expensive tipples – pushing Melbourne’s £8,167 'Winston’ into second place.

Is this the world?s most expensive cocktail? - BT

I'm sure that will be topped soon. Melbournians don't like coming second.

Yeah, that just HAD to steal the F1 Grand Prix from Adelaide. BTW, has it made any profit, yet.

When did Adelaide have a Grand Prix?  I don't remember it, it must not have been any good.

I worked the Adelaide Grand Prix as Staff Supervisor even after we were posted to Melbourne and stopped when it moved there. We enjoyed the buzz it brought the city but the important point is that the GP tourists have consistently stated without hesitation that Melbourne is a better host given its size and capacity. Sorry, but true!

TBH, I'm quite happy with the present arrangement.

Adelaide is best when quiet and a particular demographic of its drivers are given little inspiration to be even more stupid.
