    Correct.

    He's comparing the actual transaction to the original transaction. The original transaction was voided by the actual transaction. No point comparing them.

    Thank you my darkened friend. I only used betamax as it would be more believable because ER was involved.

    **** off with your innumerate ways. How did 29 come back?

    30 was handed over and 5 comes back (1 each to the 3 Amigos and 2 to Trev) leaving 25 i.e. the price of the item.

    I couldn't help but notice I was omitted from the OP.

    It's like being a black version of you.

    Ok, 29 didn't come back, wrong choice of words, but 30 was handed over and we each paid 9 and trev took 2, so why does it not add up to 30, where does the extra quid go????

    There is no missing money. You paid 25 quid for the item, you each have 1 pound refund, and trev trousered an additional 2. That's, err, £30.

    You're comparing the discounted transaction to the original transaction. They are not the same and can't be compared.

    There is no missing money! You have a £25 quid item, you and ER have a quid left and trev has 3 quid left.

    25 + 3 (refund) + 2(Trev's cut) = 30

    If you can't follow that, you're either wumming or lack the arithmetic skills of a 7 year old.

    In either case, there no point in me continuing this discussion.

    Ffs, it is about the sums not adding up when to do it backwards, it is ****ing ancient. And we didn't pay 25, we paid 27 you complete fanny, hence we only got a quid back each. We didn't know edge said it was 25, as trev said it was 27. So, one more ****ing time, each if us got a quid back from our respective tenders meaning we paid 9 each with amounts to 27 plus trev 2 quid adds up to 29, not the original 30!!
