Man, everybody else's Poundlands are full of great stuff.

Ours is just crammed to the gills with dobbers buying multipacks of weird eastern european branded crisps for 5p a throw and frightening-looking (possibly unregulated) cleaning products.

Bloody southerners get all the good stuff.  :(

Ain't that the truth  :'(

I get most of my superglue from poundland - 12 tubes for £1, and it works as well as any I've ever bought elsewhere.

Never seen anything I could use for gaming though, so I've gotta agree with you JollyBob :(

Mine didn't have those either  >:(

Now, if I was one of their store managers .......  lol

The zombie idea is a very good one - in fact it would work for many more otherwise unuseable figures too.

Something to consider  :)

You see chaps there are benefits to being a southern softie and living in this part of the world, although the downsides are numerous - expensive beer, expensive food, very expensive house prices and did i mention expensive beer... :?

Not much difference up here, to be honest.  Not even if you drink the locally brewed brown beer that smells of socks. :(

I remember when a tenner would last you all night.

And all this was fields.


Actually, it still is fields, but that doesn't work.
