According to the "Telegraph", Tescos finance dept mistakenly paid £984,000 for 6 Sports Direct "Muddy Fox" suspension bikes, instead of £984.
And...they won't give the money back, as yet.

Wow! I'll never complain that my local bike shop is expensive or doesn't like giving refunds.

    I'd imagine Mike Ashley could do with the money to be honest!

    Its actually on the front of Bike Radar currently one of the main stories

    Anyone who can get one over on the supermarkets has my vote
    They usually cripple their suppliers with constantly reduced prices

    Might have to go buy one, bargin of the century, £120,000 bike for a snip over £100 :lol:

    you'd like to think tesco would miss that amount of cash, but its pocket change to them
