Olympiad: best buys and change at the till ★★★, sentence 4

Watch the talk around the numbers: "the queue was a mile long" is not a number to use, "not ideal" may mean a deal is worse than it looks, and when someone corrects themselves the last number counts.

Who acts: you, queue, ideal, deal, someone, last number · What happens: watch, not be, use, mean, be, look · To what, where: talk, numbers, long number · Speech: someone speaks here
