Correct Change Needed!

On my way to work this morning, I stopped at the haberdashery stall in the Buttermarket to pick up some tape to make bunting for a garden party. However, I only had a £20 note, and she had 87p in change!
"I can give you two tens for the twenty," said Mr Lawrence, who was sitting at the next stall.
So I did the swap with him.
"I can give you two fives for a ten," said Rob Soldat, who was chatting to the haberdashery lady.
So I did the swap with him.
Nearly there.
Then Rob dug into his pocket, and swapped five pound coins for a fiver, and we could do it!
I love shopping in Hay!
