Ummmm... £1.00? (And .025 inch on the waist?)

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).
...
Hmm. Hot take-away food, that's 20% VAT innit? =A31.20.
JGH
It's not VAT related:-)
A fiver.
'cause that's what you gave the apprentice and you didn't get any change.
Two pounds - they are meant to feed two?
61 quid because he got a parking ticket?
2 for a £1?
I'm working on the basis that you were working oop North where stuff's cheap, not down 'ere where you'd not even get a sniff of your almond croissant for £1!
Oh - *excellent* answer!! :-D

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 =A31 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 =A31 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.
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 laughin= g 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.
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.....
