A PHARMACY customer thought he needed new spectacles when he saw the eye-watering bill for his little bottle of eye-drops.
The till rang up a bill of more than 4 billion (equal to more than half the annual NHS bill for Wales) when the bottle was scanned - it was supposed to be just 9.95.
The hapless customer, 55-year-old father-of-two, from Wrexham, said: "I'd recently had my eyes tested and I'd popped in to get the prescription and to get the eye drops because I get dry eyes.
When he saw the bill, he quipped, "I was going to pay by cash but I guess I'll have to use my card".

A key subject for the new woolly pupils could include m-ewe-[sic].
