I’ve learned this discount chain will open its first branch in the sarf near me in Havant. Should I look forward to it or keep well clear?

If it’s similar to Poundland it’ll be way too busy for my liking – rammed full of people who think they’re getting a good deal (but actually aren’t)! I steer clear personally.

Get your tracky bottoms on, the missus is fine to stay in her PJ’s, and just put her Uggs on, then off you pop. Its traditional to be eating a Greggs pasty as you slouch around the place though. Ettiquette.

Enjoy…..

Often this – things like handsoap for £1 that can be had at a supermarket for 95p 99% of the time.

Just wondering; will we southerners get less for our £? Will there be southern specific multipacks with only three items rather than the expected four oop north?

As it’s in Havant the whole tracky bottoms and PJs thing shouldn’t be an issue.

Oh and don’t forget to be a complete wag and ask the assistants “how much is this mate?”

Or same price but slightly smaller sized bottles as well, also weird sweets that at first glance are big brands ‘Habiro’ was one of my favourites in the pound shop near me.

Depressing I know, but it’s only a matter of time before someone is nicked for shoplifting from it.

Is it an exchange programme? I do hope we’ll be getting a Waitrose in return?

favourite sport is wolf jacket (or similar animal) spotting.
Just keep the wife clear of the place otherwise she’ll end up coming back with all manner of tat ‘but it was just a pound’

POSTED 3 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Unfortunately Recipease has been selected for relocation.

I kid you not; Havant is such a dive the council made the deserted shops look occupied by filling the windows with posters which give the impression of a fully-open shop.

If you’re lucky, you’ll soon have all manner of northern-exported, pound-based lovliness, like….

For those moments when Greggs seems a bit… you know… upmarket

Did anybody ever see the extensive range of ‘hoaxley’ sunglasses they had in pound land not so long ago?

bargain booze will be next

it’s the beginning of the end

get your house on the market

I get a trip to Havant once a week through work. I know what you’re thinking, lucky bugger, but it really isn’t as glamorous as it sounds.

You laugh. I went in there only yesterday and picked up a large bottle of head & shoulders for a pound. Admittedly it was all in Russian but who cares? For how short my hair is, it would last me a year!

This morning it just squirted out a large blob of conditioner.

Cock.

You put Russian conditioner on your cock?

It might have been worse…

In my defence, I couldn’t understand the instructions!

We have a pound pub in Stockton.

I sh*t you not.

He says he took it home and used it while showering – but afterwards noticed he had burns to skin in his crotch area.

There’s a market stall just down the road from our Poundland that sells those, among other crappy illustrations and logos. 😛
I occasionally go in, but Wilkos has equally good prices, and proper sizes, too. Their Piraton analogue (Citrezine Hydrocloride) hayfever tablets are great, not quite as cheap as online, but nice and handy, same with their Ibuprofen.

Remember to ask the price!

What? Foie gras, Quale’s eggs and Chateau Margaux 2009?

That’s what we all have down here if they can do it for £1 good luck to them I say…

Depressing I know, but it’s only a matter of time before someone is nicked for shoplifting from it.

I once witnessed a Rumanian woman and her kids shoplifting from the poundshop in Leicester, they must have gone in and out three times. Desperate.

You used to be able to get a big bag of Shrimps&Bananas in Poundland. Back in the good old days. Massive bags they were.
I like to have a schadenfreudey flick through their CD collection to see which bands have reached the bottom of the credibility barrel (hah! **** you Hard-fi!)

PoundWorld: Will I Die?

Of shame, yes.

But now the CDs have been ‘pre-owned’.

I remember when you could get a pack of ten lighters for a pound…

Pound shops and their ilk are like Harrods compared to the retail choices in Withernsea in East Yorkshire.
The indoor market is the only place I have witnessed someone selling second hand toothbrushes.

I still shudder when I think of the place.

Funniest thing I’ve read today!!

If you think that’s bad you should see the Greggs Outlet on Frederick St in South Shields. 2 Steak Bakes for 75p.

2 STEAK BAKES FOR 75P????

:runs to the car and sets sat nav for South Shields:

Is it like the difference between Disney Land and Disney World whatever that is?
