Well if you are going to be Sensible !
For many years there was a stallholder on Coventry Market who'd advertise some of his wares thusly:
Oranges - 20p each or 4 for £1
If anyone asked for 4 oranges he would then ask them
'Do you want 4 for a £1 or 4 for 20p each ?'
If they said 4 for £1 that's what they got.
Guess which option the majority of Coventry Market shoppers chose ?
Fuck knows what he'd have got away with in Birmingham !
