Everybody looked suitably depressed. I never went again. Like you are supposed to feel cheerful and wow because everything is a £1 but you mustn't show your cheerfulness when in Waitrose the same thing is only 75p but because it's Waitrose you couldn't go in there because you might have to feel and look happy.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-73053320558030766902016-08-12T08:42:08.260+00:002016-08-12T08:42:08.260+00:00I know where "The Three Merry Lads" is l...I know where "The Three Merry Lads" is located and it's about half a mile from the gates of the Lodge Moor Hospital site - which is of course now a housing estate.

There was somewhat of an outcry when the second one opened! Poundland is great, I always visit our nearest one when I go to get the dogs' food/treats as it is next door to Pets at Home ( which is also a great shop) If you are picky about what you buy, there are some good bargains to be had. The one I use is on a small retail park, and never very busy in the week. Not noticed any unwashed either. I also do all my food shopping at Waitrose, so I get both ends of the shopping spectrum!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576715462615744934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-78693011271326836442016-08-12T07:35:19.158+00:002016-08-12T07:35:19.158+00:00You can save even more money by going to the 99p s...You can save even more money by going to the 99p shop, you know.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-49483716887193255672016-08-12T07:09:11.053+00:002016-08-12T07:09:11.053+00:00I don't understand washing up bowls.
