Four!?

Not much time for gallivanting today as it was the local community fun session at 3pm to celebrate the start of half term. A visit was scheduled to the nearest remaining M & S so I could purchase some trousers.
"Whilst you are there can you get some coffee?" asked DH prior to my departure.

Suitable trousers were identified, tried on and purchased. They were NOT the jeans bizarrely labelled 'cigarette' - making me wonder who could possibly think this was an appropriate name to market anything under!

I then made my way to the food department and bought up the entire stock of 200g jars of M & S Gold Blend Coffee.
That may sounds like a significant purchase,
but it was only four jars...
No-one batted an eyelid at the tins of soup
or large block of cheese already residing in my basket, but the jars of coffee earned several second glances.
No sooner had I picked them up that I noticed a customer giving my purchases a quizzical look.
"That's a lot of coffee!" he observed.
"We are a 'Fair Trade' church," I explained, "and this is the best 'Fair Trade' coffee we have found so far."
"Ah! It is for a church. That makes sense."
I headed off for one of the stationary lines of persons waiting to be served.
The customer in front also commented the quantity of caffine I was purchasing.
Who knew that shopping for Fair Trade goods was so exciting!?
