some fruits are inherently shite
like kiwis and pomegranite
karambola's a winner to follow your dinner

and run with shite - nite, it sounds better

I heard the all bought a £10 drink.
Which the barman told them was £10, but another member of staff saw him, and demanded he refunded the group.
He'd overcharged them by £5, so gave back £1 each to the group and pocketed £2.
So each fruit/veg has paid £9, plus the £2 in the barman's pocket.
Where has that extra pound gone?

Inflation
They should have received a refund of £1.66 and 6 recurring change - which times 3 = £5.00 = which is (£1 x 3) + £2 ergo no missing pound.

your 2's on the wrong side of the equation
30 - 5 = 25 = 9x3 - 2
alternatively
30 = 3x9 (paid) + 5 (refunded) - 2 (swiped)

The Bauhaus and De Stijl Movements
The Bauhaus movement comes from the term “House of Building.” Originating as a school in Germany, it was taught as a combination of architecture, building, and fine art. The idea of Bauhaus is that form follows function. It is taught that there need not be lots of bells and whistles in someone’s designs, but that the fact that someone’s art can have a function while looking simple is art itself. Rationality, functionality, and simple harmony were the hallmarks of the movement founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. Many of the ideas used in Bauhaus architecture, such as balconies for each room of an apartment, are still in use today in modern United States architecture.
De Stijl is a Dutch word meaning “the Style.” It is an artistic movement, also known as neoplasticism, which was founded in the Netherlands in 1917. The core ideas in De Stijl evolve around simplicity. The only colors used are the primary colors red, yellow, and blue; along with black and white. Simple rectangles and lines are also used in the designs. Everything was reduced to the essentials, and abstraction was key. Though simple, the movement had many creative ideas, especially with the use of negative space. The most famous piece of art from this period was created by Piet Mondrian, with a black, white, red, yellow, and blue painting of squares, rectangles and lines titled “Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red,” which was created in 1939. The wonderful title also shows that not only was this simple, back to basics art, but that it was also a way of thinking.
Both Bauhaus and De Stijl are very similar movements in that they stress simplicity. The use of simple colors, lines, and rectangles harkens back to grade school, but the effect on the art is striking. The art created in both movements almost creates sort of a “why didn’t I think of that” effect in the mind. The movement showed that you didn’t need an amazing amount of technical proficiency at painting or a lot of shades of colors to create a visual masterpiece.
Along with the similarities in the simplicity, the movements also took place around a similar time and place, in Europe in the early 1900’s. One of the main proponents of the De Stijl movement, Mies van der Rohe, was also the head Architect-Director of the Bauhaus school in Germany for its final three years.
