A "pound shop"? That must be like our "dollar stores". That means that you guys are the victims of your currency. We buy crap for a dollar and you guys have to pay a pound for it! That doesn't sound like a good deal.

Re: Woolworth's

I venture in now & again but rarely buy 'owt.Always seems to be mobbed at the checkouts when i go in.Although the checkout situation is just as bad i'd sooner mooch round Wilkos.Just for the ambience of the place
