Well a lorry driver friend of ours who is notoriously careful witth his money found a way!
You know the type, he sends a text to ask a question which needs a long and convoluted answer so you will ring him back.
We have a new Gareden Centre opened at Peterborough where he visited last weekend.
In true lorry driver style he treated his wife to a late breakfast. Two bacon roll and a pot of tea for two and when the bill came it was for £17.92.
He went to pay with the teapot in his hand and no-one said anything but as he walked out of the restaurant a member of staff said 'Excuse me sir, where are you going with that teapot'?
He showed them the bill and said he thought he had bought it!
Thankfully Jill, his poor wife, is used to him by now:)
