Yesterday DD and I met at John Lewis for coffee. I had one of those "free coffee and a cake" vouchers so being ?? we agreed to share the cake and I got the coffees.
The voucher said it "entitled" me to "a regular hot drink and a cake" unti 31 July, so I expected to get it back again so that I could use it "regularly".
Oh no. "Regular" is a size not an indication of frequency 
How we laughed at the old dear's naïvety !!
(Grrr. I still feel hard done by )
"Trying it on" in John Lewis? 
Remember when (if anybody is old enough) you couldn't try things on in Markies? That was the start of their guaranteed returns policy I expect.
But to answer your question Rosesarered, no, it wasn't my colour 
Too beige?
Just think what a cake a day could do to your figure by 31st July
Daphne, I made a similar mistake whilst on holiday recently. We bought a ticket to use on the ferry boat that plies up and down the coast, and it's use by date was printed on the ticket. I thought that meant that you could use it, every day maybe, until said date expired. Oh no, it was for just one journey. Naive,moi ?
I'm never sure what parking signs mean. Like "return prohibited within 3 hours". Does it mean you're not allowed back at all? Even in an emergency?
