Pizza for free

Today I like Somerfield. They'd reduced pizza. The checkout assistant noticed this before me, and commented on it:

 2 @ £0.77
PR   SF PIZZA               1.54
     ITALIAN PIZZA         -1.68

The pair were marked as "2 for £4.50". I thought that they'd reprogrammed their tills so that for the BOGOFs and other special offer reductions, you now got the higher of the two possible prices if the reducing gun had also been waving its magic over the item, but clearly not so this time.

Hmm, is there a bug in <ecode> sections with £ signs and other non-ASCII characters?
