Brain Teaser - 05/10/12

Three people check into a hotel. They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people.
On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person.

Now each person paid £10 and got back £1. So they paid £9 each totalling £27. The bellboy has £2, totalling £29.

Where is the missing £1?

Answer on Monday.......
