"The last fraud"? Are frauds so rare that it's meaningful to talk about the last one?!
- Qub3d 9y agoLast in this case means "previous" or "most recent". Its just ambiguous English.
- tome 9y agoOh yes, I understood that. I still can't believe they're so rare that you can talk about the "most recent" one. And how would jimnotgym know? Most puzzling.
- mannykannot 9y agoNote the phrase 'at our stores' in the preceding sentence. We don't know whether it's a couple of stores or a supermarket chain, but either way, it is likely that someone knows within any given enterprise.
- tome 9y agoOh, I interpreted that as a patriotic way of saying "at British stores". Thanks for explaining!
