There’s nowt as strange as folk…

In the store just now we have a deal on milk: 4-pint bottles are priced at 2 for £2. Seeing the promotional sign, a lady picked up two 2-pint bottles by mistake. “No”, said I helpfully, “it’s two 4-pint bottles for £2 – I’ll go and get you two.” “Oh, no”, she said, “That would be too much”, and she put the 2-pint bottles back - and left.

It reminded me of the legendary Jason McAteer story.   How did it go?  At a Pizza restaurant in town, the waiter asked him if he would like his pizza cut into 4 portions or 6 portions. “Better make it 4”, said Jason, “I’m not hungry enough to eat 6”

It sort of makes sense if she only wanted 4 pints and not 8. Mind she could have frozen one of them. But 2 quid for 2 2 pint bottles would have been a lot.

Er...

...but she was happy to pay £2 for 2 2-pints - that's what she thought the deal was?
