Your nearly there (and correct)...... the answer is move the first letter to last and the word reads the same backwards as it does forwards. :-)

No need to apologise OutofFocus...and, bye the way, I wasn't laughing at you...Huguenot's comment made me laugh purely because it came from Huguenot...I don't think I would have found it funny otherwise

Three people are paying the bill, it's ?30, split 3 ways. ?10 each. ?30 Total


After paying, the waiter returns and says he over charged by ?5.


Dave says "Thanks, keep ?2, just give us a pound each"


The waiter pockets the ?2 and gives each diner ?1. Thus they paid ?9 each.


So, ?9 each, 3 x 9 = ?27, the waiter kept ?2 27 + 2 = ?29


Where is the missing pound?

According to Google Translate, the palindrome "saippuakuppinippukauppias" means "soap deck merchants" in Finnish, apparently. Yahoo!'s BableFish doesn't do Finnish.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
