What a bargain

I had a fair few beers last night so was (still am) feeling a little tender this morning. Being a little dehydrated I bought a lucozade from the newspaper stand inside the station.

Stuart: “Can I have a bottle of lucozade please?”
Shopkeeeper: "We have a special offer on lucozade sir, it's £2.50 for two"
Stuart: "No, one is enough thank you. How much is that?"
Shopkeeper: "£1.25"
Stuart: "What? The bulk buying offer you suggested was hardly a bargain idiot! Who do you think you are? Were you trying to con me? I am quite within my rights to report you to trading standards or maybe even to the newspaper sellers guild. Tosser!”

I’ve used a little bit of artistic licence there but I think you can get the gist.

Bargainous Breakfast

My new company has a full time chef who cooks us breakfast and lunch for £1 a portion.

Breakfast usually consists of some sort of pastry or maybe some porridge, today’s delight was 2 hash browns, 2 rashers of bacon, 2 slices of bread and some beans. All for £1. Not bad really.

Lunch is £1 too, and is usually a sandwich, which also comes with a packet of crisps. She also does nice soup too.

All this is great on one sense, much, much cheaper. Going outside would be a fiver minimum. Unfortunatly if you’re eating at your desk you tend to be available for work so you never really get your full lunch hour. Is it worth it?
