my deal-making super-skills made an appearance again this weekend at the ealing blues festival. one of the booths had a mighty cute ring, but i wasn't about to pay what mister-let's-overcharge-everything was asking. (i mean, my dollar is nothing here!) so, i finally got it down to 6 pounds, but right after i handed over my money, he added a new condition:
"you've gotta stay here and watch my shop for ten minutes"
"you're joking, right?"
"no, ten minutes and i'll be back. hats are 4 pounds; cds, 2; that instrument over there, 15; incense, 50p; necklaces, 10; got it?"
"your clock starts now. i'm counting down."
