Re: The mega-fantastic Poundland thread

[Nightjar]

I've bought that pack of 3 funnels from Poundland in the past, to fill the mower with petrol. Now I use a battery powered mower so it's a lot easier and more nimble and the funnels are redundant.

I'll have them.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I didn't know Poundland sold funnels. I've been toying with the idea of getting some, for ages, but didn't know of any shops that sold them.

Perhaps we need a funnels thread - for epic funnel-related discussion.

Less talk, more action!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's now being reported that Poundland is going to buy 71 Wilko stores. The twists and turns of this saga are beyond comprehension.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've been in Poundland today. And they had some tablet keyboards for £8.

If they've still got some, the next time I'm in, I might buy one.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

They also had some very fancy-looking mouses for £4.

[Butterfield]

Poundland really should be renamed "Most Stuff Now Is Now Much More Than A Pound But Is Still Rounded Up To The Nearest Pound-land".

[The Call of the Wendigo]

You can say that again. They were selling something for far more than it costs at Heron but I can't remember what it was.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Oh, that was it. It was bags of Walkers' Sensations.

I think they were something like 50p more expensive than they are at Heron.

I wonder if their build quality is superior to the 'click, click' mouse?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

They certainly looked like it was.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

They're now selling some things for 85p.

It's pricing carnage in that place, these days.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Blundering around in Poundland, the other day, I spotted that they're now selling cacti.

I got very excited because I had some pet cactuses when I was little.

Now I'm wondering if I should buy one.

Perhaps I should buy two, as I don't know if cactoises get lonely if left on their own.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Then again, they were in little pots. I don't know if that means I'd have to move them into bigger ones when I get them home. If so, that'd put me off buying them, as I don't have any larger pots and would, presumably have to buy soil or whatever it is they live in. That all sounds like a major commitment for someone as commitmentphobic as me.

Actual YouTube video about actual Poundland cactusupials!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Fancy someone who shops in Poundland knowing Latin/Greek phrases.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

She says you need to re-pot them when you get home.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It did seem like there wouldn't be much room for them to move around in those tiny pots.

I've got one like the one back left. I think it's called a golden barrel cactus. I had it in 1994 and it's still going. It's probably about twice the size of that one now.

The problem I had when I was "collecting" cacti is that I had a mealybug outbreak which spread among certain cacti, and ultimately destroyed the cactus. I ended up with about three cacti that were never affected.
