Daylight robbery

This Saturday I shall be playing the part of an evil harpsichordist at the historic building's Halloween event. Just now I walked down to the joke shop to buy some war-paint. The first ones the man showed me were £9.00, and they had far too much of the stuff for one person, so I asked him for something smaller for which I coughed up £4.50. Shortly afterwards I wandered up to the 99p shop for something else. Guess what? Yep, they sold the stuff. I bought a full kit there for 99p. I'm not complaining about the joke shop. They are bound to be a bit dearer, cos they don't have the turnover. But I wish I'd known the 99p shop sold the stuff in the first place.
