excerpt no 7-the most expensive ice lollies

First things first though. As we were standing right next to the ice cream van and we were all extremely hot and on the cusp of being irritable I thought an ice lolly would go down a treat. Wasn’t going to splurge out on anything too fancy like 99’s or Magnums. Just plain plain cool-you-down lollies. Thought it might be a nice surprise for everyone. I had the biggest surprise of the weekend when three plain orange lollies, and small ones at that, came to at a cost of £6.00. Six pounds! Two quid for a lolly that you can get a box of eight from Iceland for a quid! Never mind the cost though- the cheap/expensive lollies did the trick and all suitably cooled down we were ready to move on.
