Useless Fact of the Day

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

From the 4th January 2009 edition of The Independent (and there’s a name that probably won’t be with us this time next year):

“The busiest single-price store in the world is Poundland, Croydon, in a discreet corner of the Whitgift Centre. Here, for £1, are: the Weight Watchers food range; 150g bars of Green & Black’s chocolate; 1.5 square metres of vinyl easy-lay flooring; four white ceramic wall tiles; a wall clock; bed pillows; 100g Nescafé coffee (a third of RRP); 100 Tetley tea bags.

And here, too, are shoppers such as Mary Evans, a pensioner. “I was looking for something for my grandson and I found this ‘Bug’s Life’ 2009 Annual… I also got some Radox handwash. It’s a lot cheaper than Boots!”

Louise Samuels, 26, was buying party food for her daughter. “The sweets here are so cheap, so she can pick what she wants.”
