JOHN'S
STORY
I
was on the way back to work after meeting a friend for lunch and
decided to call in at the local bakers to pick up a cake to go
with my afternoon cup of tea.
It was quite crowded in the bakers and I was at the counter
waiting for my turn to be served, when a guy elbowed into the
gap next to me, trod on my toe and said to the lady serving,
“Two jam tarts please love”.
The lady pointed at me, a regular in the bakers and said to him,
“I think this gentleman is before you”. She turned to me and
asked what I would like. This is when temptation took the better
of me…. I looked down at the jam tarts, counted them and said
“17 jam tarts please!”
With a large grin on her face she bagged every jam tart in the
shop and after I had paid, turned to the guy who had elbowed in
next to me and said, barely holding back her grin, “Now, what
was it you wanted dear?”
Now that was one of the most satisfying five pounds I’ve ever
spent….
