An impressive haul indeed, one that we could have done with one bored afternoon on a rain-wrecked cricket tour in Brighton a few years ago, when one of our team invented a 'pound shop game', in which we each had three minutes to dash out of the hotel into the Pound Shop next door, buy something and then leave our goods out for the hotel receptionist to judge which was the best value. Oddly, my rather prosaic mug tree won, and it still sits proudly in my kitchen.

We made our own entertainment in those days.

Ah, we used to play that. I won it with a replacement Dyson drive-belt, or something.

I got a bag of water balloons, instantly making me popular with my friends and unbelievably unpopular with the hotel proprietors.

Is this official OTF pound shop challenge thread then?

One item for a pound, photograph it and stick it up here. Best one wins... er... a pound.

I'll sort something out on Saturday...

Hey, we've got a pound shop in Woolwich that will probably kick all your asses, Nottingham's included.

That i saw "Driller Killer" in zavvi for c.£15 the other day tells its own tale.

Bright light. Smooth opening/closing mechanism. Comes with batteries.
Astoundingly, this can be manufactured, shipped from China, retailed...and everyone makes a bit of money, all for one dollar Cdn.

I once saw a man in a pound shop drop a pound coin which landed right on its edge. What are the chances?

Can I involve the Euro shop up the road?

I am actually looking forward to visiting Pound Crazy now. What mystery lies within?

It was big, big news when it opened as well.

That light is the thing that comes free with a snuggie. I think they might even give you two.

Once the snow has cleared, I had a find in my local Poundland on Christmas Eve that will trump you all (and they had millions of the bastards, and they'll never sell out).

Oh aye, the one near Lancaster market sell snide FCUK socks. They've got FUCK written on them. I have four pairs.

Kowalski, you live around the locale of Bangor don't you? Or is it Llandudno you live in but support Bangor City?

The reason I ask is 'cos I am currently residing in Bangor at university and have somehow never been to see the blues play despite being in my third year. My pre-univeristy pledge to follow their fortunes has failed miserably.

Anyway, I realise this isn't a football thread so instead I shall have to endeavour to see what I can nab from one of the pound shops in Bangor. Oh yes, there are several.

Funny, I noticed this book in my local Poundland today, along with biographies of Thierry Henry, Ledley King and Maggie Thatcher, for some reason.
