Maybe its a sign that I'm tired, but I found myself laughing at this rather random conversation today. To hear it the way I did you need to put on quite a broad Belfast accent. It went:'£1.70 for a Battenburg?!!'
That accounted for the sound he made, but his face was as priceless as the cake. You'd have thought the guy at the till had farted in his face or something. Utter, utter disgust.
But the rather bemused part-timer wasn't for budging and his sweet-toothed patron left with nothing to have with his tea. Not, of course, before muttering '£1.70?!' to himself repeatedly on his way to the door.
People are funny. But isn't Battenburg expensive?

Ok, so it was a Spar. And it was like a regular battenburg cake like you would buy in a shop to take home and slice and eat with a cup of tea you made for yourself. Does that make it a better story? More funny?
Well it doesn't make it any less funny!
