Me and a friend have had a disagreement and we are hoping you lovely people can help decide who is right.
I have attached a screenshot to help...
To put this in context, we were discussing a fee for Rory to clean Trevor's house. The first offer, as you can see was £5 plus the train fair to get home (which in this case was £4). The 2nd offer was £10 including train fair. This offer was accepted and it was not until after the cleaning that we realised we had crossed wires.
He was of the opinion that '£10 including train fair' meant £10 plus £4 for train fair (£14 total), whereas, when writing it, I intended for it to mean £10 total (£6 plus £4 train fair).
Who is right here?
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Trevor
