Which reminds me of a conversation I heard when late night shopping in an M&S food hall last christmas.
Guy on phone, looking harrassed:
'they haven't got the dessert you put on the list'....
'yes, they've got others but I didn't know what your second choice was'...
'but if I come home with the wrong one is that worse than coming home with no dessert at all?'...
I just felt like giving him a hug
