 What brand of cigarettes did you buy for that price seems rather cheap for 10 cartons,usually pay 38 euros for 1 carton.

Sorry George. It was 3.5%

Sorry Jim it is 2% straight from the horses mouth. Ask her when you go in September or contact her, as I did today.

They are Greek cigs GR Aspro - v. low tar and nicotine and a lot cheaper than English ones. You can get even cheaper ones but not easy to get low tar.

"Straight from the horses mouth" that's not very complimentary.

Figure of speech only Dupnica, famous saying meaning from the highest authority, not meant to be Maria of course.

Maria said 3.5 but maybe she was counting out loud. It was 2%. There were a few cheap pens on the bill.

If I had used the cash I bought for 1.2425 the cigs would have cost £251.10
I actually paid (for the cigs) £252.38

Consequently, using the Clarity card instead of dosh cost me £1.28
As I performed this operation twice, the additional cost totalled a massive £2.56 - or an entire bottle of Mythos!!!!
