Title: Poundland
Post by: tel on January 30, 2009, 10:12:52 AM: Does anybody else but me, use these shops?

Last week I acquired a USB lava lamp.

For a quid - perfick.

Surely Wenchy must avail herself here.

Post by: Pastis on January 30, 2009, 10:18:45 AM: I needed a magnifying glass a few months ago (the old one broke). Couldn't find one anywhere until I ventured into the local pound shop.
What a result! ;D It's even got a Philips screwdriver in the handle!

I am sitting (gingerly) at my computer desk and the USB Lava lamp that Tel gave me is casting a mellifluous glow.
