Pound land.

A friend's Brother got ID-ed when buying a bottle of Whisky for his Dad. Funny thing is, he's 31 and was in the same class at school as the girl asking for ID.

He has the last laugh though - i hope he chuckled and muttered under his breath "tee hee you've come far"
 
I used to work in poundland when i was at college. Was one of the best jobs ive had for the simple fact that no one but the managers cared about their job lol. So we used to play football in the warehouse, eat the cheap sweets and just generally messed about.

Dont think id be buying any £1 perfume from there lol.

Who was it for?
 
Don't laugh but......

In the NHS - there were 29 cases of people drinking the alcohol gel used to prevent MRSA. 70% proof I believe. And that was only 6 months after it had been introduced to wards. :rolleyes:


And I know countless people who have attempted drinking aftershave/perfume - simply because there was nothing else at hand. £1 perfume would be a life saver to them.

Isnt it better tho for the OP to buy £1 perfume than buy nothing at all? Isnt it the thought that counts? which seems to have been forgotten nowadays.
 
how hard is it for people to carry around ID?

everyone whines about shop keepers IDing them and refusing sales but honestly, how hard is it to keep a form of ID in your wallet?
 
The guy who said "it's the thought that counts" had it pretty spot on.

I was doing some shopping last year and I went in poundland for some batteries and some pens and I saw a Tom Jones DVD. I bought it for my Nan and gift wrapped it and she thought it was the bees knees (she loves Tom). I bought her some other presents (full priced from more socially acceptable vendors) but it's the Tom DVD that she values the most, so consider that.

Chrimbo is a time for tat, so if a poundland item fills a particular niche at a particular time then boo to the snobs.
 
For essentials and toiletries, I think it's a pretty smart move to pay a quid rather than 3 or 4 per item. Nothing wrong with that.

Anyone thinking otherwise is plain mad.
