I love cake. The local cake shop in Handforth where I live recently had a big sign in the window which stated, "Choose any cake you want from the display stand. Just £1." I chose a cake, took it to the counter and the baker said, "That'll be £1 50p." "But," I spluttered," it says on the sign, choose any cake you want for £1. Why are you asking for £1 50p?" "Well," he explained, "that's because you've chosen madeira cake."
