I personallyhave never seen this much of a reduction before. Cannot say whether it will happen again.
I hope so as I really want the new Exotic ones

I've never seen such reductions although of course it does depend on what the seconds look like whether they are worth more, but I have been fighting the urge all weekend and just succumbed, deciding to buy 2 of each rather than 4.

Its unusual for them to offer reductions like this on the internet, they're normally in shop only. It depends on their warehouse stock, they had some items at this price last year but nothing like the volume on offer now. They used to do a big clearance sale twice a year in a marque outside the main Stoke shop but you couldn't get it online. I think they've stopped these for now.
The seconds are usually very good - better than a lot of the other makes. We went to three of the Stoke shops today and in the larger two the shop assistants were picking out online orders and they do check each plate not just pick them up.
If you can get to one of the shops the advantage is that you can often find patterns that aren't on the website. We got a few plates today with discontinued motifs and some 8" ones with 10" motifs on them. We managed to get the new Hydrangea on sale and saw several people with the Rose of sharan hibsicus which was selling on ebay for £30+ last year.
They also have the variations and the roses on special in the shops, I don't think this is on the website.
HTH
Edited to add: just been having a look on ebay and the sellers must have been there first thing yesterday morning

Can I ask how most of you make a service out of this? Do you buy 1 pattern or mix and match? Not sure if I'm keen on mixing and matching.

It is meant to be mix & match.

Thank you for the replies about wether this is a one-off sale - have placed an order, in case it is

Years ago we were in Stoke and went to a big shop that sold seconds, but it has all been broken over the years.....I always wanted more, so thank you OP!! :T
