Here is a little puzzle for you guys.
Three mates are walking through the local town one sunny Saturday morning, one of the guys said 'I wonder how England are doing in the test match' another replied I don't know but I wish I did I hope we are doing OK. The third guy said look here in this shop window they have a radio on offer for £15-00 reduced from £20-00, why don't each of us chip in a fiver each buy the radio? Then we can buy a few beers and go and sit under the big oak on the town recreation ground and listen to the match.
So in the electrical shop they go the assistant serves them, they pay £5 each and head off with the radio.
In the mean time the shop manager comes back into the shop front and the assistant says I just sold the radio we had on offer for £15-00, the manager replied Oh! no I have just heard from Head Office that it should have been reduced further by another £5-00, down to a £10-00, quick grab £5-00 out of the till and run down the road and see if you can catch then up and repay them the fiver, at this the assistant grabs 5 X £1 coins out of the till and runs down the road just in time to see that three guys coming out of the off licence, as he is rushing up to them he thinks to himself I could make a couple of quid here for myself and shoves 2 £1 coins in his pocket.
He rushes up to the guys and say you were overcharged for the radio it was further reduce so I have to give you £1 each back.
Now the guys are pleased cheap radio, the assistant is pleased he had made £2-00 so you would think everything is just dandy.
HANG ABOUT!
Instead of paying £5 each they paid £4 each because they had £1 back each.
Now 3 X £4 = £12 + the £2 the assistant put in his own pocket that makes £14-00, where the foc is has other £1-00 gone? :eek
