The great garden centre rip-off: Perils of afternoon tea when wearing the wrong specs

Hello, police please. I’d like to report a mugging. Broad daylight, last Saturday, in the cafe of a well-known High Street store.

What was stolen? £17 from my good person - the cost of two tuna sandwiches and two soft drinks.

You hear about society going to hell in a wonky supermarket trolley but the collapse of all we hold dear does not hit home till it is there in black and white, printed on a receipt.........
