This may be a local rather than national campaign - has anyone seen this leaflet in-store, as we did when the 99p shop converted?duncanthedog wrote: »Just to say to keep an eye out for a Poundland leaflet coming through the door, it has a £3 off a £15 spend.

I'm going to have a rant now: the mobile phone cable charger I bought recently has worked precisely once, before giving up. Bad investment, so avoid unless you find use for it as a snazzy shoelace.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

PS: The conversation about Lightning Cables reminded me of one I had in the Trongate store a few years ago - buying one for my niece - I'm Android all the way
I asked an assistant if he could recommend either X or Y Poundland-brand Lightning Cable and he vaguely replied, "they're not that great". Think I ended up buying from Amazon. So maybe (some of) their cables still haven't improved.
Generally their tech offerings get positive Feedback from bigclive and all the other Youtubers.0 -

Tablets generally take a higher voltage charge than phones, perhaps the cable isn't adequate to deliver that higher level.0
