Walking past the European market stalls in Manchester I was taken by one selling a bewildering array of salami. I asked the pretty young German blonde for a couple of green pepper salami.
"You can buy seven different salami for £10," she smiled. Sweetly.
I handed my £10 note to the pretty young German blonde and said thank you to her and to her pretty middle-aged German mother.
I can pretend as much as I want but in the end you can't fight the programming.
You get the full works for twenty quid, Kev.

I want to know what you got for a tenner
ReplyDeleteThose fraus and frauleins should know better than to come over 'ere offering such temptations to our menfolk.
ReplyDeleteSeven sticks of salami .... it's just too much for any man.
7 for a tenner! No wonder you were tempted - that's better than Lidl.
ReplyDeleteIf the Poles had been offered this kind of salesmanship then WW2 might have been averted.
ReplyDeleteHow big were these salamis though? Not that size is everything, of course.
ReplyDeleteI notice that the gentlemen take a culinary view while the ladies...
ReplyDeleteThey're small salami, eight by one-and-a-bits, not the chunky ones you see in the cartoons.
oh my, sugar! xoxox ;)
ReplyDeleteI passed there today and there was a spotty lad on the stall - and no customers.
ReplyDeleteSavannah: quite so my dear
ReplyDeleteKaz: not surprised, it just doesn't work, except as a pitch on Canal Street.
