I'm 100% confident that if they offered enough £s, they could easily hire the staff to price on boxing day when the shops are closed.

If they offer more £s to staff to do the price adjustments on Boxing Day, then the customers, ultimately, won't get as low prices.  Each £ spent on higher staff costs cannot also be spent on lower customer prices.  Which do the collective pool of customers value most?

Dare I say, prices on items that reflect the price said item is being sold for?

OP, you could also complain to head office. I suspect this was just a lazy store manager who was bypassing standard pricing processes in order to make their job easier.

Or maybe it could have been as the manager told the OP:

I spoke to the manager who basically said the sale sign in the window was for a concession in the store only

Eh? The items themselves had a sale price written on them too. 

A sale price or numbers?

and the sale prices marked on tags didn’t have £ signs next to the numbers

The main issue the OP had is not with the sign in the window, but with the mis-pricing (or, if you are generous, too-early pricing) of items for sale.
