Anyone watching? Caroline Aherne is doing the voice over. Quite funny.
I bought some ladies earmuffs from poundworld yesterday. I know they were only a quid but they don't even reach my ears when I put them on.

The narrator's annoying me, she sounds simple.
Anyway, I look in all the stores, 99p, Poundland and World.
In Croydon there's a new 99p opened (alongside the other one at the other end of the high street) which I tend to use as Poundland is too small and always massively busy.
Likewise, was in a Poundworld the otherday, and the shelves were all half empty.
I thought it was Jane Horricks at first.
Watching it for the grim factor.
Even if you dare go in to one of them you still have to shop around as many of the items are cheaper elsewhere ....... but a captive audience as they say buys the item anyway because it is 'only a pound'.
Remember the first time I went in Poundland it was as a stocktaker counting all the stock!.
85 year old mum still looks out for him!
There is one of the 99p stores in a centre not too far from me (it was briefly pictured earlier). It's in a rough area and the shopping centre it is what it is, but it used to have some pretty big shops and now its full of pound shops.
(The tabs are only 16p a box in other shops too)
maybe there are less tablets in the boxes?
Exactly they are ruining the high street. one pound shops and charity shops revolting.
Me & I agree, I thought the voice sounded familiar but couldn't place it - but yes, very irritating. :mad:
These places are great so long as you keep your eyes open and don't just buy stuff, because many thing can be bought in Supermarkets for less. Also, twice I bought Strawberry jam at Poundland and both times it went off before I was halfway down it. :rolleyes:
They were selling Tunnocks choclate teacakes for £1 - 89p in Tesco.
At the beginning of the prog. the manager said 'Rice Pudding for a £1' well I pay 14p for a tin of their everyday value rice pudding at Tesco. In fact if you have the time to trawl through their Everyday Value items, you'll find some amazing bargains. Poundland eat your heart out!
She is narrating like she is talking to 5 year olds
It was Channel 4 Dispatches I beleive.
