JJ... Christmas before last, we had to sort out the funeral arrangements for Tony's daughter and we popped into the Spar in Kings Norton in Birmingham. I bought some groceries to take back to Hereford, and saw some Pink Monopole on the shelf. It was priced at only £19.99. I though that was very cheap, so picked up 3 bottles and plopped them on the counter with the rest of the shopping. The woman who served us was gasbagging with her colleagues while she was bagging up my shopping, and to be honest, my head was all over the place. I paid for the shopping, and left. On the drive back to Hereford, I realised something wasn't right. I checked the bill, and saw that she'd only charged £4.99 a bottle. When she scanned the bottles, they didn't come up on her screen, so she'd quickly looked at the shelf, and saw bottles of pink cava priced at £4.99, and manually typed in £4.99. She obviously couldn't tell the difference between cava and champagne ! Well, I wasn't going to drive all the way back to Birmingham to pay her the shortfall ! :-)
