So I turn up at the WRVS Hospital shop and grab a BLT and a cappuccino out of the machine.
"Did you realise we are doing a meal deal and you could have your drink and sandwich with a packet of crisps for £3.50?"
I decide my emergency intake of saturated fats is quite sufficient without adding a bag of Gary Linekar's fried potatoes. "No, I'll stick with just these thanks".
She rings the till.
"£4.75 please".

Sound Osborneian economics. The less you do, the more it'll cost you.
Oh. Dear. Gods.
Honestly.
Elle bought a 'meal deal' at the Co-op recently and was puzzled to be charged £1.40 in total, for a pasta salad at £2.20, a drink at over £1 and chocolate at about 69p, since the promised price was 'not more than £3'. She'd have been fine with £3. Did you add the packet of crisps and then give it back?
Your follow-up email box doesn't work :(
I've sneaked up on the bugger and it does now. Hah!
Tim: I can only suggest one word to you. Balls.
Roses: Obesity rules.
Z: obviously I couldn't just hand over £1.20 extra for minus 1 packet of crisps.
Yes, obviously the extra £1.25 is to pay for the storage of the crisps....
i hate deals like that because they're tempting, but not any better for you. or something like that! xoxoxoxo
I don't understand this.At any level.
rings the till . . . youre showing your age, do you still dial a phone number? Yeah me too.
Demonstrates the daftness of the world we live in.
Nota: I think you may be right!
Sav: Yes, and this was in a Hospital!
Dinah: It is a bit like imaginary numbers in pure maths.
Zig: Cheeky young scamp! I bet they still have letters on the dials in Wilts.
Mike & Ann: Topsy Turvy Smoky Bacon.
This kind of thing drives me into a state of gibbering hysteria. I've never been very good at arithmetic or choices.
I am sure I have been to that hospital Rog. Second thoughts, I can't have, I would still be there in A&E having my apoplexy treated.....!!!
Tee hee!
