I'm being serious. A Pound World shop was forced out of business because of a one penny price difference.

Give more details. Most non-UK users will have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Catch my drift.

As you can guess Poundworld sells stock for 1 pound. 99p is one penny lower than one pound. The 1 penny difference forces the pound world shop to close. In the US, imagine a one dollar shop closing because of a 95 cents store.

Think of it, people go to the 99p shop because there goods are cheaper. The Poundworld obviously can't compete because of the shop name. The 99p shop gets more income than the Poundworld shop. So Poundworld has to close.

locking, if any bbmin finds this to be acceptable, feel free to unlock.
