proton Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Thought it was about the building society cutting interest rates! No doubt this will lead to more mistakes, lower price on the shelves but old higher price at the till, happens all the time as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
