EdUNKNOWN
So when I was going to Spain, I was going over, and I knew it was gonna be last week of smoking, and I wanted to get 200 John Player Blue.
EdUNKNOWN
But if you're not duty-free, you have to pay the full whack.
HazelUNKNOWN
Full whack, yeah.
EdUNKNOWN
So I was walking by all the, the, the gates, and I seen a big, uh, a load of people for London Stansted.
EdUNKNOWN
I seen this bloke and went, "How are you, mate?" I says, and he was like, "What's, what's going on?" I says, "Can you do us a massive favor?" I says, "Would you go over and buy us the 200 John Player Blue?" And he's like, "What?" I said, "Because it'll cost me at least treble what I'm about to p- give you." And he was like, "Uh, yeah, all right, all right." So he went over, and I had already asked the man in the shop, and he went, "No, you have to be duty-run." All right.
EdUNKNOWN
So when he came back, he was looking at me like that, and the, the, the English fella showed him his boarding pass for London Stansted, and I went, and, and I, I'd already told him to say 200 John Player Blue.
EdUNKNOWN
So he said to the man 200 John Player Blue, and then he went to him, "All right then, I'll get it for you." And I paid him on my phone.
