what really annoys me is that it is always .9, why, is it so sort of psychological play? Are we that dumb?

Simple sales tactick 9.99 is usually seen as £9.00 in the minds eye therefor sounds cheaper than £10.00.

In the good old days I could go to the cinema and watch buster keaton, have two pints of ale, fish and chips (IN NEWSPAPER!), and get a topless hand shandy from the local slut, and still have change from half hapenny!

The guys said it was till he got supplies and also offered MOT discount to anybody filling up. I am not saying that he did not make money out of it but I can see some sense in trying to make the supplies last.
