Quote from SR news item:
"Last Saturday saw the grand opening of the eighth Special Reserve Big Discount Store in Norwich."
Then later on they say:
"Don't forget, the Special Reserve Norwich Big Discount Store is a permanent fixture in Plumstead Road East, so if you live in the area and want to track down some stunning special offers, there's only one place to go!"
So, the first statement says there are now 8 stores in Norwich, but the second says there is only one. Typical of SR to mess up their news, just like when they said SONY's Gran Turismo was heading to the PC.

But there is a comma there so it makes sense!!!

Read it again:

The 'eighth SR store in Nowrich' is what it says. If you want to read into it a different way, fine, but if you take it for what it says, you cannot argue this point at all. Durrrrr.

For crying out loud!
It clearly says that SR have 8 stores and the Norwich one is number 8.

Are you sure? I mean, a dozen ways is a lot for your pea-soup brain to cope with. Still, not to worry, I blame your parents.
The fact is, the way you wrote it implies that Nowrich had 7 SR stores, and you were opening its 8th. Durrrrrrrrrrr.

I could write the sentence a dozen different ways and it would still mean the same thing. It only proves you're an idiot, and a troll at that. Durr.

OK, I'll read the sentence again...
Nope, still the same message. It still talks about the eigth SR store in Norwich. Putting the comma in doesn't help either, because the strucure of the preceeding text is all wrong. Maybe you had a mirror in front of you when you wrote, "Durrrr."?
One example of many different, improved ways to write it is:
"Last Saturday, Norwich played host to the grand opening of the UK’s eighth Special Reserve Big Discount Store."
Sounds like you are the one who needs to do some learninig. Durrrr (with no mirror).

The best thing to do is ignore him because 13-14 yr olds love to have all the attention.
