Yes I understand the £9-99 instead of £10 thinking. Goes back to the days of "Arkwrights" till. so the shop assistant had to ring up the sale & give change. Also £9-99 is a REAL price whereas .9 of a penny is not even a legal amount. OK so I go and purchase 1 litre of Shell unleaded & hand over £1 & 39pence and cut 1/10 of a penny coin off & hand over the remaining 9/10. Ah you say -they wont sell you 1Litre so I buy 4Litres and hand over £5 & 59p & .6p! Its not a REAL price theyre advertising so how can it be legal? It only works for multiples of !0 Litre purchases. I know- why dont I get a life! But nobody else does this to my knowledge & how many people really think 139.9 is cheaper than 140? :rolleyes Does anyone think we are going to be paying :'( £1-50 a Litre soon?
