Seven And Seven Is
In Asda, and bought something half price. The till rang it up at more than half price.

Supervisor comes over. "What's the problem?".

Me: "This is normally £11.20 and it's meant to be half price. It's come up at £6.60".

Supervisor: "So what's the problem?"

Me: "It's meant to be half price"

Supervisor: "Yes. That's why it's £6.60"

Me: "No. It's meant to be half price"

Supervisor: "Yes. Half of £11.20 is £6.60"

Me: "No, it isn't"

Supervisor tries to work it out on a calculator, gives up and asks: "So how much is it then?"

Like a fool, I tell her what it really is. I could have knocked another quid off if I'd thought about it....
