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.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
