We were out shopping this morning for various things and when we'd got home and put away the basics, onions, potatoes, bread etc, we opened 'the purchase'.
Inside the wrapping was an owner's manual consisting of 22 pictures of do's and don'ts plus 19 explanations in case the pictures weren't obvious enough and then for more detailed information there was a half-page table to cross reference the item you'd bought with the pictures and explanations! Then John noticed that the cardboard packaging had all the same pictures of the do's and don'ts on it, and the explanations too. And just to add to it, the item in question is also printed with all this stuff too!
So what did we buy that needs so much information?
A lilo. A pink one. 4 euros.
It must of / must have (sorry, grammar error here ) cost more to produce all that packaging and health and safety stuff than the lilo itself.
