The Big O.E

The perils of converting currency

UNITED KINGDOM | Wednesday, 10 June 2009 | Views [273] | Comments [1]

Yesterday I went to a nice bakery for breakfast and had some tasty eggs from a man named Benedict.

Upon leaving I saw a tasty biscuit that I just had to have. 3.50 pounds, so, a little on the pricey side.

Imagine my dismay when I go to take a bite of the biscuit outside and it breaks off in my hand and breaks on the sidewalk. 

Determined to taste this wonderful biscuit, I go and purchase another for the same price.

Then it dawns on me that I've paid 7 pounds for biscuit, or rather $21 NZ dollars... Oh dear.

It wasn't even that great either. 

And the lesson is, never convert currency. You will only get annoyed with yourself.
