A funny thing...

...happened to me today.

Opening Scene:
Our hero enters a local branch of a well known high street retailer of shoe repairs, key cutting and watch battery installation. He enquires about the cost of a new battery for his watch.......

Our Hero: How much is it to replace the battery for my watch, it's losing time?
Tim: That'll be £25 for installation including a 25 year guarantee
Our Hero [aghast]: What? Twenty five quid for a watch battery, you're having a giraffe
Tim: Well, we do the same battery for £20.95 with a 1 year guarantee?
Our Hero: £20.95? It's a watch battery, not a car battery
Tim: Look, I can go as low as £18.95 with no guarantee, but that's my best offer
Our Hero: I don't think so chum, that's about £15 quid more than I'm prepared to pay.
Tim: I know what you mean, I wouldn't pay that either.
Our Hero: Bye
Tim: Bye

Our hero swiftly exits the shop, the lights go out on stage and the curtain comes down.
