Does anyone remember an old riddle which was about someone going into a shop with a �10 note to buy some items, handing the money over and a complicated exchange of change to and fro, which ends up with it all adding back upto �9.99 - or something. Can anyone recite it word for word - sorry a long one i know!!

Three diners in a restaurant. The bill comes to �30 so they each pay �10. The proprietor realises there's been a mistake and that the bill should be only �25. He sends the waiter back to the table with the change. Being a canny fellow he pockets �2 and returns �1 each to the diners. Now...the diners have paid �9 each making �27 and the waiter has �2 in his pocket. �27 + �2 = �29. Where's the other pound gone ????
