I bought a pack of nails from a poundshop once (I wanted to hang a few pictures) - I think they must have been made out of play-doh the way they bended! As I was hammering them in, they were simply bending i half!

Serves me right I suppose, there was about 100 nails for £1!

Be VERY careful of electrical items! Especially their 6 plug socket extension that makes buzzing noises when used!

Don't bother with Poundland hem it/invisible mending stuff it's rubbish, seems to have dissolved after a few washes.

Don't buy the cans of instant tyre fix from Poundland that's designed for bicycles. All it does is clog up the valve and does not fix the puncture.

I sprayed a whole load of it in a bin and it just disappears. It's just a can of suds. Mind you it does smell quite nice, but that's not what I bought it for.

When it leaks above ground then it is dangerous.
When it leaks underground it is safe.
?????????????

Steps to be Taken if chemicals are spilled:
If cells are leaking or rupture, prevent skin and eye contact and collect all released material in a plastic lined metal container.

Don't buy 'Galpharm Non-Drowsy Hayfever & Allergy Relief' packs of 7 tablets in Poundland. Some LIDL supermarkets sell the same tablets but in packs of 14 for the same price.:cool:

avoid there adjustable spanners. they adjust themselve loose the moment you try using them. The plyers are as good as useless as well
