I just popped to St Leonards Branch and not a lot left , all kitchens and bathrooms have sold stickers on , a couple of dozen lawn mowers with 20% off . And odds and sods all over the place , with 30% off lowest marked price . Picked up an ironing board with reduced to £18.99 on it , thinking that it would have 30% off of that price but wrong , the £18.99 was the 30% of price , so did not bother . very misleading.

No it's not - the flyer reproduced above says 50% off kitchens, bathroom suites and wallpaper - which won't include ironing boards. It's definitely not 50% off everything. I wish it was! Everything 'is reduced' but the amount varies...

What IS misleading is how they've started putting the reduced price on the items - which is in breach of the statements, posted all over the shop, that there's 20%, 30% etc (depends on what section you're in) off the 'lowest marked price'. If they've changed the marked price to the value with the 20% etc off, then you should demand another 20% etc off.

Been to the Chippenham store today, didn't see any huge bargins, quite a bit of wallpaper & garden furniture left, I picked up some plant pots, stickers fr the kids rooms and a couple of bedside cabinets for £20 each.
Staff were helping customers dismantle the diplpay kitchens, lots of staff around - all happy to help.

MMMM, how much did those items cost individually, as i use that and would be interested! Thanks in advance!!!

£21.49 for the 7.5kg large breed food and I think it was £9.99 for the 3kg senior food

ETA: on sale the large breed was £12 something and the senior food was about £5.99. Sorry, I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!!
