    Down the road from me its that rough they honestly have a security guard in POUNDLAND and they only let 2 school kids in at a time but a couple of doors down at 99pLAND (Which for some reason is busier) They have not security guard!!!

    They should put that sign up, I reckon it would help reduce the shop lifting

    Thick, uneducated, and dishonest - a deadly combination :confused:

    I've only just found this thread and it's definitely thread of the year. Unbelievable and funny until you remember about all the people who have been ripped off by this person.

    Lots of comments similar to the above. According to the Daily Telegraph article, he goes to Southend High School for Boys. This is a grammar school so he must have passed the 11+!

    Now either he's lied to the paper about his school or education in Essex has taken a serious nose-dive. I failed my 11+ (1992) and went on to get five A-Levels and a degree from Oxford. If this muppet made it through I'm seriously unimpressed. :mad:

    EDIT: http://www.impulsetechuk.com still seems to be working. There must be a way we can stop people buying items from the site. :( What I do like on it though is:

    "Terms & Conditions

    not available"

    The website says (c) 2006. Trying to appear to have been running that long? :(

    Oh and "All emails will be received within 24 hours". He should really complain to his mail provider - that's awful service. :rolleyes:
