Poundland was getting a bit expensive for many people in the more depressed parts of the North-East. I think they were thinking of putting in 50p shops.
Really..I went into a Poundland shop last year and saw a couple of OAPs looking worried as they were trying to figure out what they couldn’t afford. Was genuinely sad.
Yeah that doesnt surprise me, i’ve heard stories of OAPs using dog food mixed into a stew as they couldn’t afford proper meat.
I’d rather go veggie!

In this Dispatches investigation, Harry Wallop asks how Poundland sells so cheaply, yet makes so much money.
