I was sent out on a mercy mission a few minutes before dinner tonight, to find some crusty bread to go with our meal. I dashed to Sainsburys (other supermarkets are available) and quickly found a student special, 4 small crusty loaves at 18p each. Bargain!
As I approached the checkout I found myself contemplating the adjacent customer. My eyes rose from looking at his conveyor belt full of food, and met his. And he was the Vice Principal of Ridley Hall. I just held up my four loaves and said "this is my weekly shopping".
It was only a couple of hours later, back at home, that I realised that a famous Galilean did this trick a couple of thousand years ago....
