Gotta love 'we tried everything'.
So I went into an artisan bakery and asked how much to buy the best loaf of bread in the shop.
"Well, funnily enough I was actually hoping to eat that one myself for breakfast, but you can have it for £10" said the baker.
"What about £6?" I asked.
"No, sorry, it came out so well that I'm not actually keen on selling it at all, but you can have it for £10, as i said".
"What about £7, plus if i like it then I'll come back tomorrow and give you another £1?"
"No I'm sorry, I've already told you, that's not enough, £10 or no deal".
I return home thinking "I can't understand it, I tried everything". Well, everything except paying the price that he always maintained he wanted. :/
