Roger, who was 19 years old, was buying an expensive bracelet, to surprise his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, at a very smart jeweler’s shop in Hatton Garden, London.
The most practical V-day gift.
The jeweler inquired, ’Would you like your girlfriend’s name engraved on it?’
Roger thought for a moment, grinned, then answered, ’No, instead engrave ’To my one and only love’.’ The jeweler smiled and said, ’Yes, sir; how very romantic of you.’
Roger retorted with a glint in his eye, ’Not exactly romantic, but very practical. This way, if we break up, I can use it again.’
