Poundland Bargain Thread -

Brockyman

Got a Sex Pistols mug in Lancaster after braving the chicanes. It's this one if anyone is interested http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/-/3419/2686/-/16698554/Union-Jack-Sex-Pistols-Boxed-Mug/Product.html and I see people are already trying to make a profit from them on eBay. Not the best one, I would have loved an Anarchy or GSTQ one but still great for the price. Official merch so would have been expensive if bought at a merch stand at a gig.

They also had some TY Beanie babies in there. I picked one up for my Grandson.

Seems an odd combination, Sex Pistols mugs and Teddy bears.

I fell out with Poundland before, but after a £5 voucher and apology I have been back - and got a good book 'Century of Scandal' which I would recommend, great as a xmas present maybe, also bought some Serial killer books with dvds in (fred west, zodiac killer and desalvo)

Just a word of warning about one item they sell, there was a programme on about the light up kids toys that are filled with water, they are flamable and shouldnt be on sale, but they still are.

It was a documentary on last yr about Poundland in particular.
I got in touch with trading standards to say they are still selling them but they only do anything if you want a refund apparantly!
They are highly flamable and not safety tested.

But "flammable toys" don't seem to be mentioned even once in it

Correction - found it - but no explanation or reference

Thats just a link to a discussion about it. you would have to google for the show, maybe its on youtube. Sorry my word wasnt good enough (never is on forums, once upon a time a persons word was good enough now it's source? link? proof?) or am I just a big fat liar and trying to stop people buying brilliant safe toys?

It was a rubbishy programme, though.
