Care to explain? That figure looks pretty accurate to me.

No, you're right. I mis-read the original post.

It was a simple mistake, the self righteous replies made it worthwhile.

I wasn't being self-righteous.
In a thread like this where percentages are almost obligatory to make the point, only 5 posts mention percentages and 4 of those were miscalculated. I suppose the reason for the lack of percentagesis that most people can't do them.
I have tried to show what the calculation should have been and have made no comments, I do feel that your response was not one of someone who is willing to learn from his mistakes.

Don't try to pretend that was deliberate

Seriously, put the shovel down.

Never use one mate I pay others to do the manual work.

Of course, none of the possessive pronouns has an apostrophe

Guys, give it a rest. Please!

This is a great thread, let's not fill it with silly and pointless bickering, even if it is in jest.

Is this thread still going?

I may be slow off the mark but only just noticed that following the great shrinking Twix shocker (4x50g down from 4x58g a few months back) it seems like the rest are following suit -

Mars Bars - 4 pack x 51g also down from 4x58g
Snickers - 4 pack x 48g down from 4x58g
Cadbury Double Decker - 4 pack x 54.5g down from 4x60g
I won't mention percentages!

Old larger sizes still available variously from Sainsbury's & Tesco.

Grab 'em while you can
(... or not - I've decided to boycott the lot!)
