Poundland, Found Lacking ….

There is one thing that Evesham lacks, which we all greatly pine for, and that’s a pound shop of any description, so despite Darrell and Nigel only paying a flying visit to the homeland, they did manage to find time to pop into Wolverhampton for a little pound shop therapy …….

…… only to find that Poundland is now selling items that actually cost more than a pound, under the guise of “Special Buys” or “Managers Specials”. Poor Darrell had a terrible time calming down Nigel when he thought he could buy a whole stable of plush Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and Flutterby My Little Ponies for Iris with his spending money, until Darrell pointed out the signs and that said Ponies were actually £6 each and not one pound, thus preventing much embarrassment at the till but causing crushing disappointment for Nigel .

In the end, Nigel decided to buy Iris several pairs of fairy wings and a “proper” diamond encrusted tiara for Iris’s dressing up box for his return to the Towers and their reunion.

Darrell did say, that perhaps the visit wasn’t as productive as anticipated, his money, he said “….was safe”.  His return will be heralded by nothing more exciting than sticky foam pads, sequin stars, some chalkboard labels and a surprise pudding!
