It's an example but widespread sale signs. This time the Mrs went into Radley.

"All handbags £99 or less"

Then in smaller writing

"Selected lines".

So in other words "the things that are under £99 are under £99". Well thanks for that.

It's a bit like 'up to 50% off' which does essentially mean 'one thing is 50% off'.

Sales tend to be cons anyway, remember working in Currys years ago we'd get a bunch of new lines in October that were weirdly overpriced for what they were spec wise and sure as shit come December they were 'half price' at about what they should have cost in the first place.

Oh yeah, look at the small print on TV ads

"On sale at ... Between 18 October and 18 November"

Same with the seemingly month long Black Friday sales

DFS and others “sale must end Sunday” have been doing it for years!
