Gladys is a super shopper (aka bargainer). On our big day out, Gladys bought a jumper at one of the road-side stalls. Not only did she get the price down, she also managed to get a 'regale' (gift) at the end of the transaction ... because it was her birthday the next day. Really wish I could understand the transaction which took place – but watching the faces and listening to the inflections of the voices was an experience in itself.
Another occasion we went to get some jewellery to go with Milka's wedding dress. Here again, she got the price down and walked out with a small ring (not sure if it was silver like the rest of the stuff in the store or not .. but quite possibly) ... which could either go on the wedding cake or be a present for Gladisita's birthday.
Even our boots purchase was negotiated downwards by Gladys...
