    they are not saying "save £x from normal price" or saying it is a "sale price" - You may not like what they are doing but nothing illegal.

    If youre not sure dont buy it! shouldn't be such a confusing system anyway!

    Think's with your feet, and protest with your money, take it elsewhere.
