I had to make an unscheduled stop in Shanghai this week. Problem is I packed for a warmer climate, so was farquing freezing when I arrived here. So off I trundle to buy a wooly jersey. "Mmmm shops look quite smart around here", thought I. Not your typical Chinese shite.

Anyhoo I find a jumper I like, note the price is 385 RMB, quick mental harifmatic and I work that out to be between $50 and $80. Pricey for China, but it's a nice un.

Back in the hotel I realised that I'd failed to notice that there was an extra '0' (zero) on the jersey's price tag. I make that over $500 I paid for the bastard.

I am sooooo gonna get my arse kicked when Ms Biff finds out.

Oh dear, you obviously didn't buy this item with cash otherwise you'd have definitely noticed that extra zero. I'm sure next time you'll count how many digits there are.

Do you need to have your motorcycle(s) hidden for a few weeks so they don't accidentally end up for sale?

I can sympathise - bought some skincare stuff recently and if you bought two products you got a free gift - girlies like that kind of offer! That was fine, then the assistant said "if you buy a third item, you get a ticket in the raffle for this big basket of skincare and fragrance." Ooh, can't resist an offer like that, so I was talked into buying something I didn't really need, in the hope I'd win other stuff I didn't really need. You guessed it, I not only didn't win the raffle, but when my monthly statement arrived, I found I'd paid $160 for the ticket - sorry, third product!

On visa?

Query the bill straight away. They might (hopefully) put the thing on hold and you can somehow work it out.

Was it an innocent mistake or were you fleeced (sheep jokes aside for a mo)

Wives are like children. They pack a sad just to let you know whose the boss then forgive us so that we think we are.

Just make sure you are wearing the jersey when she greets you. That way when she finds out the price you say "well darlin' you did love the jersey." Then undress slowly. She'll melt.
