    My mother had a black Amex. The fabled 'invitation only' Centurian card. Replacement cards were delivered by motorcyle courier in a presentation box.

    No, really, b and I met him for a drink once, in a little estaminet in Ypres, we had vang blong and omelettes and frits, he'd just come out of the line and was all muddy. His real name is Tommy Atkins.
