So there I was, lazing in bed this morning, have a read of my book whilst giving half a thought to those on their way up to Sheffield, when my phone rings and turns out it's the box office at QPR. A couple of days ago I'd sent off for a couple of Scunthorpe tickets using the Sun's £9.50 offer per ticket for two tickets to a match of your choice in the football league (desperate times, desperate measures and all that haha). I'd already rung the box office to enquire about it and was told to just fill out the coupon and send a cheque etc. Anyway, the girl says to me that the cheque was a little bit short and that I owed them 50p. I was a bit puzzled and said did I? I mean, I know I failed my cse in maths all those years ago but even I can work out that 2 x £9.50 comes to the grand sum of £19. I was then informed that QPR are actually charging 25p each more per ticket at £9.75 so after a bit of umming and ahhing (do you want to hang onto the tickets til I pick them up next Saturday and then pay you 50p I asked?) I was asked to pay it from my card so they can send the tickets out?
So off I went running downstairs in my jimjams to fetch my card and pay the 50p. When Leon asked me afterwards what was I running out of bed for and I told him, he commented typical of Ali Russell and the like to do their scrooge bit even with something like this LOL. Well, it certainly gave us a giggle  |  |
