Once, when I was little, my Grandma and Granddad took me took McDonalds. I’d never been before. Being young and innocent and lacking in tastebuds, once I’d finished the meal, I said: “Gosh, Grandad, that was ever so nice! It must have cost you an awful lot of money!”.

My Granddad, being a bit canny, made a show of looking in his wallet for some money, and then turned to me and said “Oh no! We haven’t got enough money to pay for it! We’ll all have to go and wash the dishes in the kitchen.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I espied one of the cleaners wiping down one of the tables, and, bold as brass, pointed at her and shouted “Didn’t she have enough money to pay for her food either, Granddad?”.
