    Does anyone know what these pound shops from poundstretcher are called please? There's a vacant building quite near us and I've asked one of the builders who are fitting it out which shop it will become. He said nothing interesting, just a poundshop. When I google new shops opening in the town it comes up with a recruitment page for poundstretcher. I'm just being nosey :D

    I thought they'd all closed down now and re opened as poundlands, I've probably just made that up :rotfl:

    No, you did not make it up. We have two poundlands in a nearby town, about a minute's walk apart :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
