This is what I said a couple a months ago is the way to sell groupon if you would like to get decent prices, everyone knows (even the ones in £1 million pads) that costs can be inflated to make the deal look more inviting all IMO (obviously)

Which is illegal....inflating the price just to give discount prices which is what this one has done.
And this has to be a form of B&S....how many rooms in a house (other than bathroom/toilet) are 11sq/m or less.....BUT to a potential customer 110sq/ft sounds a big room.

It will take him 3 times longer to set up than to do the 110sq ft of carpet!!

I see on the news this morning that OFT are now looking into the major supermarkets at how they display goods, advertise deals and suchlike. Apparently they are all guilty of leading Joe Public up the garden path when it comes to "special" prices.
At least OFT staff are being kept busy ;D
I am sure that OFT do this from time to time and the advertisers behave themselves for a while and then it all starts over again.  :)
