Christmas story

Plan A was to spend the day with 10 of my beach buddies at Cobblers. We had the food coordinated, to create a sumptuous meal.Due to the ongoing inclement weather conditions leading up to the day, Julie and I decided on plan B at my place, therefore the food plan changed for just 2.
Lo and behold Christmas morning is spectacular, so back to plan A.
Problem: I only had enough for 2 potato salad.
Off to my corner shop, which hardly shuts and I bump into a neighbour, also en route to shop. It's closed.
"Damn" he says,  "now I'll have to have black tea."
I replied. "I have milk, do you have potatoes?"
So off to our back lane we exchanged our goods, both delighted.
I told the shop owners about our trade the following day.
