yep - it 87p on the instore posters and shelf edge labels, rather than the 99p in the leaflets - and scanned at 87p.
The guy in front of me must have had about 40 bars of chocolate

I see that they define a "portion" of the cake as 1/6th. I wonder if anyone has ever restricted themselves to this amount at a single go

Yes - with a cup of coffee, one-sixth is actually a decent portion (and I'm calorie counting). (And then there are five more opportunities to enjoy it.)

The chocolate cake went through the tills at only 87p (each) for some strange reason. Possibly nationwide.

Definitely, you're up North and I'm in London and it worked for me.

I have to say I disagree with this. I picked up two for a birthday treat - one wouldn't have been enough for 5 people, and I'm no fan of chocolate cake - give me lemon, coffee and walnut or carrot any day. I hesitated for all of 2 seconds before I helped myself to a third, realising that the chocolate cake monster in our family could cut it into quarters (that is a much better sized portion ) and freeze it if he wishes. The BBE date is 6th Dec 14 so he may keep hang onto it until next weekend instead.

Not here in Fife
I asked the lassie to try one through the till and it showed 99p, I wasn't getting one anyway so it was good of her to do that :T

I bought 20 bars...was tempted to get more but held back. I don't eat it as is, but I bake quite a lot and it melts down nicely to make ganache cake topping (50% chocolate, 50% double cream)....really tasty, quick, easy and cheap if you've bought the chocolate at 17p a bar!
