Honey, save your money at breakfast

WHILe ordering our morning coffee, Barbara said she would also like a toasted tea cake.

I said I’d just had my Weetabix so I didn’t want anything to eat.

The waitress piped up: ‘I had three Weetabix this morning!’ ‘Barbara believes, for all the nutritional value in Weetabix, you may as well eat the cardboard box,’ I told her. In mitigation, the waitress said: ‘Well, I did have honey on it.’

Barbara went on to say: ‘It depends where the honey came from.’

She was obviously hoping that the reply would be the prestigious and expensive

Manuka honey that comes from new Zealand.

The waitress said: ‘Tesco . . !’ Maureen covey, Farnham, surrey.
