It's just like high street sales where everything is "up to 50% off".
Why not say everything is "up to 100% off"? "up to 200% off"?
It's still technically true, even if nothing is actually discounted at all!You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
And the piece on The Simpsons where Lisa is taking a tour round a box factory.
Tour Guide: Each box contains a certain percentage of recycled material!
Lisa: And what percentage is that?
Tour Guide: Zero. What? Zero is a percent.You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
I still don't see where the 5% comes from. Or was it just a typo?0

I wouldn't feel bad... it's free publicity for them, even if just for a few of us!

Sounds like an offer about a year ago.
We applied, filled in all of the forms in and sent them off, and it was getting very close to the end of the offer, and guess what....
Sainsbury's could "find" my wife but could not "find" me.
So we missed out on the offer and put our money somewhere else (at a better rate it just so happended).0 -
Martin I think you've also fallen victim to the dreaded typo:
"why not say paying between three and nine percent"
Nine?AKA: PC
...
Rest in Peace Fred the Maddest Muppet in Heaven
