Beware J20!

A word of warning: always be aware of packs of J20 Raspberry and Cranberry juice! The bottles are far from secure within the cardboard packaging. On a recent trip to Tesco on Dumbarton Road, I picked up a four-pack from the shelf only for all four bottles to slide out of the cardboard and smash all over the floor. Carnage ensued as innocent shoppers turned the corner and howled in horror as they jumped to the conclusion that the red liquid all over the floor, littered with smashed glass, was in fact blood. I spent the next few minutes assuring everyone that it was only sugary juice and that the assistant would be along presently to mop it all up. When he arrived, I offered to pay for the bottles. He looked at me inquisitively and asked: ‘ why would you be expected to pay for it?’ I hesitated and told him that I was always brought up to pay for things that were broken in shops. His response was immediate, witty, and typically Glaswegian: ‘Well you obviously weren’t brought up around here, pal!’
