Without wishing to take away from the generosity of M&S's offer (and its brilliance as a piece of retail theatre) it's worth pointing out that in those days there were 240 pennies to the pound. So even at the generous price of one moden penny, goods will have suffered inflation of 240%. Inflation is the real 'stealth tax'.
