I love Poundland.

Same as shopping at CostCo. It's superb and third of the price of Waitrose. This goes some way towards allowing me to have five holidays a year and send my son to private school.....


Any fool can waste money.
How much do delusions cost in Poundland?
Probably about the same as jealousy.
The savings Soovy makes on shopping at Poundland don't even cover the cost of the card used to make the lottery winner sized cheques he sends to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs every month.

Yep your right. My post should have read:

Lol! Load of bks. I shop there for a few bits & pieces.....and my car still has less rust on the arches than Mad Monks E Class.

There you go. That's what you get for being a little smart arse.

So where are they made ?
They are made in China of course.
My point is the vast difference in quality between a cheap chinese charger found in a £ shop or ebay and oem apple chinese charger.

Pound shops are very similar to stores like say Lidl's. Not bad stores in their own right, it's just that you need to shower as soon as you get home, to avoid contracting any third world diseases from their, shall we say colourful clientele.

Someone will be along to call you a racialist shortly.

Follow them to find the bargains.

I struggle to understand the posters who run down pound stores and there customers. I wonder if they are trying to make up for there own inadequacy by pretending that the shops, what they sell and there customers are beneath them. It's ridiculous.

Personally, I have some really nice things, house, cars, watches, clothes, but I've no issue with going into a pound shop and buying a phone charger, 30 sheets of sandpaper or an interesting DVD, all of which can be bought elsewhere for a lot more.

If some would rather stand in a queue in homebase and pay 4 times as much because they think the people are nicer fine but actually they are the same people.

Outside of the billionaires of Knightsbridge and a few of the nobility everyone uses these shops, blimey there's even a few in Roehampton and Richmond so unless people from that area are boycotting them I can't understand how they survive let alone thrive.

Nobody is pretending that the shops and there [sic] customers are beneath them. NB I don't eat at Harvester either.

That's quite a statement. It's incorrect of course and reductio ad absurdum.

I'm not nobility or a billionaire and I don't go to them. The vast majority of my friends don't go to them either as, on the whole, it's substandard crap.

Enjoy thinking you're getting one over on us though!

Do you own the 50p store and feel a bit upset the £1 shop outdoes you or something?

You have a real bee in your bonnet over a very petty subject.

I don't think anyone thinks they are getting one over on you. They merely walk into a shop, like a mature adult, buys something and leaves.

It's a very simple process.

I don't see anyone actually claiming they are the best shops ever. Just the rare and often random purchase they might make.

For someone who has never been in one of these shops, you seem to have a lot of opinions.

It's sad that an adult can get so upset about a simple shop.

Our local one always has the big Toblerones. Don't like the things myself but they're good for miscellaneous presents for random people. smile
