....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

Come on England

Lets have a result...... 20 - 0 , 100% off

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

<does quick `Mirror` style maths calc> well, at 20 goals everything will cost nothing...so 21 goals means they take 5 % off nothing....er.....divide by 0....makes....um........

a german man done this in a german sports store for the first game it was 8-0 he had 2 knock 40% of all stock hahahaha

lets hope ol branson has 2 do the same!

If we play the way we played against Sweden we`ll have to pay to enter the shop!!....................Still, can`t be that bad again.............can we??

<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?!

yesh..cheers R8sso....wasn`t being really serious to be honest :-0)....as I said, I was being a tabloid believer for a while.
