YE'S!!
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted.

And of course, complemented by the classic reference to 'every day prices' which I must assume means they have prices in the shop every day, as opposed to 'everyday prices' which would suggest they had 'ordinary' prices at Tesco...

Perish the thought 8O

Maybe time to start naming and shaming the everyday 'every day' brigade, as it's much more common than apostrophe abuse now. In fact, I'm hard pressed to remember when I last saw 'everyday' used in a shop, instead of its cousin.

They make the price £49.97 so they can say they're cheaper than everyone else who charge £49.99.

This mob should be dragged from their chairs and beaten about the head.
