SO we go to look at bikes. They fall into three cagtegories: cheap, more expensive and HOW MUCH?
The
spotty yoof salesperson gravely advises the Boy that the middle range is best for him. A suitable bike is selected and The Boy tries it out by riding it round the shop
Yippee, you can get three "accessories" for the price of 2
These include: mudguards. Since when are these an accessory? Oh, and lights, and a lock.
The Boy then announces he needs a pump. Yoof produces "pack of accessories": pump, lock, lights (no mudguards). We buy the pack and get mudguards as extra.
Yoof then advises we get oil. HOw lucky that they have some on offer (half price with every bike
) The Boy sugests this might be useful.
I insert my card into the machine and look away
