Since we read left-to-right, we see the '4' and the '5', and compare them. Therefore, the 1p-less price looks much cheaper than it is.
Thats one reason. The other reason is that the person at the checkout has to put the money in the counter to give you the change. Say something was £5 they could stick the fiver in their pocket. If it's £4.99 they have to open the thing, put it in and get the change out
Back on topic...
I hate Tony Blair. He is such a liar. If you read the Newspapers, you will see why he should not be primeinister.
I personally want the concervatives to win. They promise to drop tax rates [i think]. Nice
