There was a pub in soho Duke of wellington I think, that had papper money from all over the world stuck up behind the bar hardly original I know.

If you are going for 1980s' -90s' identikit food pub chain look then just stick them up as well, some of those premises could have done with some.

There was more to Reagan than that. He cut his teeth supporting actors' rights, and was said to be an effective Governor of California. While he was much mocked for Star Wars, it was a game of bluff which helped to bring down the Soviet Union. He delegated the hard stuff well and didn't create policy on the hoof.
