Lingue

Ailz dangles the packet of Rosemary Lingue in front of me.

"We pay £4.75 for one of these," she says.

I stand convicted.

"There are five in a packet" she continues, "Which means each lingue costs costs around 75p. Do you want one?"

"I've already had one," I protest.

"I know," she says. "You just emptied the last packet. So do you want one?"

"Yes," I say.
