So I was in this back ally near the river in Cambridge.
‘How much?’ I asked this young lady looking for business. ‘I only want to know the price.’
She thought – ‘For you it will be £10 – unless you want to do it by yourself – in which case it will be £12′
I thought.
‘And it will cost £10 each for all the others involved.’
‘Erm’
‘OK – I’ll give you a special deal £2 off each charge.’
‘That’s good.’ I said. ‘But…’
‘Oh go on.’ She said with a smile.
‘No – its a bit too windy for a trip on a punt today – maybe tomorrow.’
