http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/450-for-a-loaf-of-bread-thats-asda-price-130549815.html ASDA has been forced to apologise after they charged a man £450 - for a single loaf of bread.

John Brown, 37, visited his local store on March 17 to pick up a few groceries - which should have cost under a fiver.

The warehouse worker paid for his shopping on a debit card at a self-service check-out, thinking nothing was amiss, but when he went to a cashpoint three days later his bank would not let him withdraw the full amount.

It wasn't until he checked back over his recent receipts that he realised his ASDA had actually cost him a staggering £453.19p.

Yes it is now, if labour were in power that price would have been for a stale crust!

:yeahthat: would explain why those actors and actresses featured in the firm's TV commercials are repeatedly filmed with gormless~looking :biggrin:s plastered over their faces ... while simultaneously patting their back pockets.
