It's ONLY words

..or is it just me so assuming ?? Is anyone else out there as put off by the Xmas ads everywhere, big and bold; small and smooth adverts alike are making this word sound a cliche !

Delivery ONLY £5.99 claims one..

Canon & Nikon price crash - from ONLY £379 shouts another..

HD ready plasma set ONLY £1299 screams yet another..

Book before Xmas to grab our bargain offer of ONLY £240,000 is splashed in a local news paper, the price being quoted for a 2 bed apartment..

What a trite ! Who is to define the limits here..and does the advertiser realize I only earn as much and only never save ! No wonder maximum financial bankruptcies are filed only following Xmas..

And I almost missed this one. Thats the biggest earning time of the year for almost all the store, they do what they have to do for that I guess. Most of the people put off their shoppings for Xmas and buy during these sales. I have seen people camping out the store whole night so that they can get a good deal on whatever they are buying. So stores lure them in any way possible...
