....well, for every goal England score today Branson has promised to knock 5% off everyting in stock at Megastores and V.Shops. So - even though I'm Welsh, here'e hoping loads will go in and with the use of the 20 quid voucher I got or my birthday a couple of weeks back prices may start to look like they should in these usually overpriced rip-off retailers.
Nice of the 'Mirror' to point this out to me, although the whole paragraph explaining that 2 goals will equal 10% off, and three would therefore mean 15% off may have been a little too complicated.....ahem

Do you think they'll give us credit notes if England score more than 20 goals?!

<does quick 'educated' style maths calc>
21 * 5% = 105%
£100 - 105% = -£5 hence the credit note! Does that make sense to you?
Since when does a shop that's offering 40% of a product take 35% of the price then take the other 5% off after that?!
