The "Sales" that weren't

Quote:
In the 'biggest ever half price sale' at Debenhams, just 21 of 121 pairs of shoes - 17 per cent - were discounted, and just 25 per cent of bags.

The M & S sale offered discounts of up to 50 per cent both online and instore.

But the survey revealed only 20 of 126 shoes were cut by 50 per cent or more, and just 27 per cent of bags and 46 per cent of dresses were half price.

At John Lewis, which also advertised up to 50 per cent off, there were more items at 30 per cent off.

But Next generally offered at least 50 per cent off all the items in the categories and House of Fraser also had more than half of items at the headline discount.

This has almost always happened, so why is the Wail going on about it now?

"Up to" should be banned and replaced with "at least".
