Cheating a £bn business isn't really cheating, is it?
Last summer, and as Skipper for my Football team, I was responsible for organising the big end of season bash. It was decided that due to various 'incidents' involving fighting, bouncers, ejections from nightclubs, hospital and a police station, the year before, it would be safer to host the bash at the Gaffer's house, in a big BBQ stylee.

So, having collected £20 a head for 'supplies', off me and my chum (who plays right midfield if any Hunton Bridge FC members are reading) went to Tesco.

Arriving at the tills with a trolley load of meat, bread, salad, etc etc, and another trolley load containing 6 crates of lager, we flirted outrageously with the (specially selected due to her being the 'fittest') checkout girl. When it came to the second trolley, she said to us "just give me one crate and I'll ring it up 6 times". We handed over the crate, the other 5 safely stored in our trolley, and awaited the damage.

Expecting a bill of around £250, we were amused to hear "that'll be £140" (ish -I can't remember exactly how much). Both desperately keeping a straight face, and trying not to blow our cover in the realisation that she'd only rung in 1 of the crates of lager we paid her, thanked her, and did one.

We both left £50 up having decided not to tell our teammates because it would be so complicated refunding all their money (ha ha), and to this day my mate and I still don't know whether the tilltart had deliberately only rung in 1 of the crates because she fancied us, or whether she was just a dumb blonde who didn't know what she was doing.

We like to think it was the former, even though sadly, in reality it was probably the latter.
