    Haggling abroad

    Having a nightmare travelling with the other half who is willing to simply handover the first price requested. Currently asked for about a tenner for 4 postcards and stamps in T'gypt until I stepped in with a "whoaaaaaa!!!"

    Anyone had any nightmarish tales?

          A tenner and 4 postcards for the missus!? Tight wads, I'd have expected a camel or two at the very least.
          I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

            If he's trying to get rid of his wife, why does he want another camel?
