Can get lots of entertainment for £1 around here. At our local social club I can have an evening playing crib or at book club (books loaned by library) or a morning at a singing group. Our charity shops sell 2 novels for £1. The haberdashery sale for charity at the local church was selling cross stitch kits for £1, two weeks ago. (I am not a church goer but it was advertised for all) Thats my entertainment taken care of. The bargains are there if you look for them.
