    Not sure if should post here but noticed sign in window of Bournemouth town centre store that they are closing on 21st June. :(
    Am miles away from Bournemouth but cannot understand any Poundland closing. Moving to larger premises, yes, but not actually closing for good.

    Bournemouth town centre is slowly becoming a ghost town. Lots of places have been closing. I think a lot of it is down to the extortionate parking charges. I think poundland customers would be more likely to pick the store out of the town centre.

    Luckily I actually live in Poole and that store is thriving well it's always busy.

    I purchased a crate from Poundland Ipswich Carr St that says "Beer Stash" on it. It was in the Father's Day section.

    knew I wouldn't get one today from my local. :(

    Ahh.. that is a problem! There are several pound shops in Derby (if you travelled there for shopping) and it is always difficult to find what you need lol.

    Not to worry - a box will do and besides I think my dad will be more impressed with the beer than the container!!!
    We seem to have quite a few PoundWorld around where I live and work, but just the 1 Land :(.
    Not going to Derby and to be honest, at this late stage would have probably all have gone anyway.
    Thanks again!
