    Great offer at ASDA... not

     Reduced from 200p to £2

    Maybe they are betting on the fact that most of thier customers don't understand that 200p is £2.00

    Linux is not a code base. Or a distro. Or a kernel. It's an attitude. And it's not about Open Source. It's about a bunch of people who still think vi is a good config UI.

    My guess is some sort of screwup when they converted prices from p to £ in the database. It automatically printed the sticker (since 2 < 200) in a batch of other, less stupid ones, and nobody noticed.
