'You do realise those bananas are $15 a kilo?' asked the assistant at the supermarket checkout.
I did.
But I wondered why she didn't think to ask me about my knowledge of the price of the lamb steak ($25.99)
or the organic fresh orange juice ($5.99 for 2 litres)
or the the weird novelty 'taste bomb' tomatoes ($2.99 a punnet and precisely the same price as the ordinary cherry tomatoes so not an extravagance)
or even the organic sweet potato crips I'd bought in desperation after scouring the shelves for the only acceptable brand of grain chips (I don't know)?
I happen to like bananas.
I was only buying three.
