All the more reason to double-check things, or just post something as a question, rather than as a statement of fact which is false.

I was repeating vertabim what the BBC news said, they went on to say that the money would be credited into people's bank accounts within 3 to 5 days.
It's looking like this was incorrect and a far more sensible idea of giving the discount at the point of sale is to be used.
