not sure where you are from luxo barge or whether you are quite as old as me, but 'taking the p1ss' for me means are you stirring/teasing me in a way that makes me look bad, but in a friendly way. In my circles we don't usually charge for this service :-)
And just to make sure, if I caused offence, I apologise, and no, I'm not taking the p1ss. :-)
