What a shower!

My old mate Bloobottle walks into a well known national DIY store chain, whose name I won't mention here for fear of libelling Do-It-All. Damn, damn, damn. Now I've been and gone and done it. Never mind. Moving swiftly on.

Bloobottle enquires about the price of a Shower Cubicle kit. Salesmanperson replies "Your lucky day Sir! We have a great promotion offer on right now. A complete Shower Cubicle, safety glass and multi-function shower head control panel, non slip floor, even lights in the roof panel, for just £1,800. And get this! The offer includes FREE installation! Providing you order TODAY!"

"Great!" Replies Bloobottle. "I'm interested. How much would that be though without the free installation?"

"Hold on a moment Sir, I'll check with my boss."

Ten minutes later Salespersonman returns. "We could do that for you Sir, for just £1,199."

"OK. I'll take it. For £1,199. With the FREE installation."

I'm not entirely sure how the conversation progressed after that. Whether Bloobottle got his way, and which I suspect was highly likely. Or whether the mansalesperson committed suicide or is still incarcerated in a padded cell in Broadmoor.

The latter two probabilities of absolutely no interest to me.
