My old running pal EJ forgot her rugby bag when she set off for New Zealand.

‘To hell with the expense!’ I thought as I booked my flight. It was worth the cost to deliver the bag to her in person. On my arrival at the other side of the world, however, I learnt that EJ had already left the New Zealand for Gambia.

I tried to bargain for a cheap return flight back to the UK, but there were no deals in first class. I ended up paying £1000 for my fruitless round trip. What a waste of money.
