Chap walks in the pub. āWhat would you like?ā asks the landlord. āIād like a Guinness pleaseā says the chap. Whilst heās drinking it the landlord says āthatās Ā£4 pleaseā. āIām not paying thatā, he replies. āYou asked me what Iād like, and I told you, but I didnāt order itā.
The landlord is furious, but another drinker comes over and says āheās right you know. Iām a contracts lawyer, and he didnāt order it, so thereās no contract. You gave him a giftā .
The landlord is really angry, and orders the customer out of his pub, āand donāt ever returnā. Two minutes later the same chap walks back in. āI thought I told you never to returnā, he says. āBut Iāve never ever been here beforeā , says the customer. āWellā says the landlord, āin that case you must have a doubleā. āLovelyā, says the customer, āIāll have a scotch pleaseā.
