'She charged him for the extra teabag!'

“Marie Louise Kerr has been telling me about the price of a cup of coffee,” Sean says. “She paid £3.10. I said, ‘Daughter dear, you have more money than sense! Three pounds ten pence for a cup of coffee!' So it made me think. What would you pay for a cup of tea? Because I think I would start at about 75p, upwards of 90p. Top whack, a quid. Because, let’s face it, what are you getting? A teabag, boiling water, a teabag, and a wee drop of milk!”

Janet says she would pay £1.90.

“Get a grip on yourself, Janet!”

Janet reminds Sean of a story Gerry Anderson used to tell about a cup of coffee he got in an airport.

“He always liked his tea strong,” Janet says, “and he asked for an extra teabag. The girl asked for £3.60. He said, ‘Sure it’s only £1.80!’ She charged him the price of an extra teabag!”
