About 13 years ago, I saw a programme called 'It's a Mystery'. They ended one episode with a little riddle. 'A girl walks into a shop & picks up a book. She takes it to the counter & places it there. She then hands the shop attendant £5 as payment for the book. After paying, she leaves the shop, but she doesn't take the book. Why?' I missed the following episode, which was to reveal the answer. It's now been bugging me for the past 13 years. Does anybody know the answer to this riddle?

Was it a library book and she was paying the fine for bringing it back late?

Are you sure it was that she went in a picked up a book because the payment of a library fine would fit in if the riddle just said that she went in and placed a book on counter, etc.
Otherwise I don't know. Think I'll keep an eye on this to se if anyone else knows, because if it's that she picked up the book inside the shop then the library fine idea wouldn't work.

That feeling would not commonly come for some years greater into marriage. Your slumbering affiliation is nonsensical and shows he has given up. you would be able to desire to get decrease back to fundamentals right here and quickly. the way I see it you would be able to desire to insist the youngsters obey an early evening (with any luck after a hectic day) the place you may the two savor each and each others enterprise and a few quiet particular time between yourselves. Insist on it. No excuses. If he can no longer make time each saturday or sunday evening while the youngsters are positioned into mattress on a universal foundation you may have deeper greater extreme issues than exist now. have faith me...with my 3 youthful infants I understand. I artwork long hours daily and are available abode to locate my spouse fried and the youngsters with a 2nd wind to confirm me. that's achieved...merely set it up and save insisting. issues will artwork out in case you attempt difficult adequate and stay affected person and pragmatic approximately it. good success

It could have been the case where she was having the book delivered by the shop as a present.

Book is slang for a wager. Making book is when you take money for a wager. The five dollars was her wager and the book was whatever she was betting on.
