As the speculation is to continue, here is my next bit of third-hand
heresay. Apparently, the price was advertised correctly, but was rounded
to �3.00 from �299.00 when it arrived in the 'shopping basket'. No offer
or advertised-price gaff just a simple mistake for all to see. And
Taylor Joynson Garrett should be
ashamed-of-themselves/very-proud-of-themselves for being the first to
commercially exploit the publicity.
