These stores are always trying to cut each others throats, in East Ham Poundland reduced everything to 97p as Poundworld opened up next door, though saying that the 3p drop in East Ham could send Poundworld skint

what's the most useless thing you bought from a pound shop?
I once bought a hand held fan which had an attachment that turned it in to a drink stirrer. First time I tried it I ended up with tea all over my keyboard.
So having more till staff on didn't increase sales???
Yeah...I don't believe that for one minute. I think they were just using the BBC as a forum for their propaganda.
That being said; What do people expect from a cheap shop?
If you want better customer service you have to pay more.
Seems this is a four part series. I wonder if it was filmed at the same time and if so why it's taken so long to air!
Just did a search on Google press articles about the £1 bra are all from June last year, so this episode at least was recorded fairly recently, but does feature most of the people who appeared in the one off from a couple of years ago.
I've seen a big chunk of this before, is it a repeat?
It is a follow up series to an hour long documentary last year that featured that irritating jerk of an assistant manager. That programme also featured the boss of 99p Stores, who was much nicer. The Pound world employers seem dreadful to work for.
Jeez she sounds like she's been drinking all night and been awake for 48 hours. So slow and drawly and sounds like a child.
I may have to switch off because of this awful accent.
Agree with you both. I've heard her narrate before and it wasn't as bad as it was in this programme. It's like she's dragging her words on purpose, but can't figure out why.
I can't tell the difference between Poundland and Poundworld, we just call them the pound shop.
Where I live we have a pound shop next to a home bargains, a B&M a couple of minutes away in one direction and the other pound shop a minute away in the other direction.
Never short of a bargain. lol
And as for the narrator - I thought at first it was Jane Horrocks.
I recognised the voice but couldn't place it til I saw her name.
Her voice didn't bother me. It fit the programme, somehow!

Worst accent ever.

Apparently they want to float the business on the stock market, and need so many stores to achieve this.
They should call it staffstretchers .

Yes, I know for sure that I watched some other show which was the same thing last year.
that was a hell of a batter boob/bra joke that the ones the guy on the show used , they were just terrible
