Went through the drive in burger place just outside of town. My future wife (a real "proper" Londoner) asked for her favourite milkshake... 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 strawberry.
As the words left her lips my heart sank. Didn't she realise this wasn't London????
We got to the counter, no surprise to me there was a lack of milkshake with the order.
"We couldn't do the milkshake. You have to have either chocolate or strawberry, not both" said the curger flinger in all seriousness.
Wife-to-be was incredulous.
"I've bought these all over London and the rest of the country..." etc. You can fill the rest of the sentence in yourself i'm sure.
"Well all those other places were breaking the law" says the now involved manager of the branch.
"Give one small shake of each and a big cup then please" Nice try, but...
"We can't do that either, you're going to mix them and it might be on the premises"
The reaction was everything you'd expect. Digging the biggest hole he could find the manager tried to explain
"It's weights and measures. You pay for chocolate, you get chocolate. You can't have anything else in the cup" Hole dug he decided to jump in,
"And by asking us to do it, you're a criminal as well".
We left. Quickly. With the wife-to-be still shouting as I wheel spun out of the car park.
