Never been in one... Stinky enough walking past on the pavement...  sick2:
It used to be the one place you could get shampoo without that MIT poison in it, other than that it all looked and smelt silly

Poundland is being sold off  eeek:

Not a shock but the business model is so 1990s

True but given the current cost of everything you'd think somewhere that was undercutting prices would be doing well. Going to have to drop into the one in town and stock up on the tea I get from there as the only other place I can get it is Amazon and they charge almost double.

Blimey, I'd never heard of them... Looks like they set up just before I left the UK...  rubschin:
Used them once (apparently in 2006) so doubt I'll miss them
