This figure of around 20% is based on their total stock lines, the shops usually do not carry the full item range so it appears that a larger overall range is on sale.
I have also noticed that some sale item would only fit in with the colour scheme of a mid-70's aircraft interior.
Well, one learns something new everyday so thanks for that as I have no idea about the retail industry.
Now I see why DFS have an almost never ending Sale.
The local DFS store which is fairly close to where I live has had the same banners up for yeeeaarrss (and in a poor state of repair) which are on the A1 on the actual boundary of Edinburgh.
I'm not old enough to remember what a mid 70's aircraft interior looked like though.
Back on topic and IIRC wasn't there a BA Avios Sale last year for Silvers/Golds for 35k and a bonus? My mind is a little hazy trying to remember that specific one.
