Welcome by the way:D

:eek:
Well I'm glad I didn't find any Taxi bars in my store now because, even with the trigger, the Gold Bars and the Club still work out each more expensive than that!:D

Same here.

Well, earlier was the position if you think about it and analyse it. In practice, I go through life pretty well and don't upset people. Just like most people do I suspect.

All this talk of maths problems reminded me of this....
[skip to next post if you don't want brain-ache:)]

How to Make the Universe Collapse (using alegebra)
Let's start with any two numbers, a and b, which just happen to be the same, So:
a = b
Now watch very carefully, I shall do this only once;)....
(where it says a2 or b2, it means a squared or b squared - the superscript numbers won't display properly is all)
Multiply both sides by a: a2 [i.e., a squared] = ab
Subtract b2 from both sides: a2 - b2 = ab - b2
On the left-hand side is the difference of two squares so we know that a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b). On the right-hand side is ab - b2; both bits will divide by b, so it can be written as b(a - b). So we get this:
(a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)
Now divide both sides by (a - b) to get:
(a + b) = b
There is nothing to multiply the brackets by, so get rid of them:
a + b = b
Move the +b across and change the + sign:
a = b - b
So we have:
a = 0
Remember that a and b could be any number, so we've just proved that any number equals zero. This implies that any measurement of time, distance or weight is non-existent .... so bye-bye Universe:D

This is the code that runs on the APG super computer

Oh I love a bit of brainache!:T The thing is that things like that never make my brain ache:D. I suspect most people's do:D:D.

Could you explain please Are you saying you paid £1 but the APG showed £2.19 each?

But (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b) is not the same, if you expand it, it gives you..
aa-ab+ba-bb = ba - bb ? (I think)
