Afaid not. And when someone gets the right answer then I will reveal why the
apprentice got a bollocking (I was not too harsh on him but he is still a
dick).

croissant for £1!

What a useless flipping website

I know it's oop norf somewhere because they sell "barms [down ere that's
what you put on your lips :-)]

but that's all it tells me. There's a new store opening, but no clue as to
where!

well some supermarkets do special offers of say £1 each or two for 3 quid ;-0

Then there's the buy one get the second half price which is OK.
The there's buy two and get the cheaper one for free.

So you could sell two for a £1 and decide that they are 50p each so only charge for one at 50p and give the other one free.

Sainsbury's do 3 for the price of two (actually it's mix and match with the cheapest free) so I've just bought three
for £1:50.....:-)

Not like ASDA then.. £1.79 each or two for £1.50 for something I bought
last week.

I sit corrected.

Mind you, I think I was subconsciously assuming that a man of Adam's
calibre would, if in London, send the apprentice off to the nearest
branch of Paul's Boulangerie for his snap

You are about the closest so far. So here is the full answer.

It turns out the pasties are 80p each or 2 for a £1 (as I found out at
dinner time when I went to the shop)

And why did it cost me 80p? It was because the dick paid for my pastie
separately to his pastie!

I did explain that he had wasted 60p but I don't think it sunk in.

He is not so thick. You got your pastie for less than a pound,be happy. He got his for 20p, and survived the roasting you gave him, and is now laughing with his mates how he got one over on you.

If I ever find out that that is true then I will kick his head in. He had no
money so I gave him a quid to buy a pastie for himself and he did give me
40p change. I sort of assumed that the £1 bakers charged a quid for a
pastie.

Oh, that reminds me of the World's Thickest Apprentice who came round
to the roll shop every pre-lunchtime for his workmates'order.

He'd order, and pay for, things one at a time, and carefully keep
every bit of change seperate. ****'s sake, I used to dread getting in
behind him until one day I snapped at him to pull his finger out and
use his ****ing head - as a nail-driver if nothing else.

so it sounds like you gave him two quid for two pasties.

Your apprentice goes to shop, finds that 1 pasty is 80 pence, or he can
have two for a pound.

So if he did buy two separate ones, that's £1.60 to the shop and 40pence
change back to you.

Now if said apprentice wanted to pull a fast one on his boss, he would
have bought two pasties for 1 pound, leaving him with £1 change.

HE then gave you 40 pence change, which then means he's had a free
pastie and 60 pence in his pocket.....

And if that's the case, Adam should keep a bright lad like that.

But still owes Adam 80p (borrowed £1 returned 20p as change)

so either apprentice paid 80p for his pastie or he paid £1/2 (50p)
in either case he owes Adam the £1 he borrowed.

Unless Adam gave rather than lent the £1. In which case
Apprentice got £1 gift from Adam
Adam got a pasty and 40p change from Shop via agency of Apprentice, so
his pasty cost him 60p

Even if Adam demanded his 80p for the apprentice's pasty, , the
apprentice still has 60p from his "little scam" so if he gave the 80
pence to Adam, the apprentice's pasty has in fact cost the apprentice
just 20p....



so either apprentice paid 80p for his pastie or he paid £1/2 (50p)
in either case he owes Adam the £1 he borrowed.

no, not if the apprentice did pay £1 for two pasties and pretended to
Adam that he had paid £1.60 for the two pasties (at 80 pence each)

Unless Adam gave rather than lent the £1. In which case
Apprentice got £1 gift from Adam
