'She charged him for the extra teabag!'

Sean remembers the time when Gerry Anderson got charged double for an extra teabag.

鈥淢arie Louise Kerr has been telling me about the price of a cup of coffee,鈥 Sean says. 鈥淪he paid 拢3.10. I said, 鈥楧aughter 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鈥檚 face it, what are you getting? A teabag, boiling water, a teabag, and a wee drop of milk!鈥

Janet says she would pay 拢1.90.

鈥淕et a grip on yourself, Janet!鈥

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

鈥淗e always liked his tea strong,鈥 Janet says, 鈥渁nd he asked for an extra teabag. The girl asked for 拢3.60. He said, 鈥楽ure it鈥檚 only 拢1.80!鈥 She charged him the price of an extra teabag!鈥
