In my part of the world, N. Lincs, it was the mouse, as on the flier. I
don't recall any computer stuff on the current flier, which has offers
that become available next Thursday.
From hazy memory, they have advertised some stuff by posters in the shop
rather than in the weekly flier.

significant, there are some really cheap unpowered hubs. Otherwise, it
might be better to look at the quality of whatever PSU is supplied.
