Went in the other day  first time.they were restocking ßhevles. I bought 3 bottles of bleach sponges ,4 boxes of toothpaste 2 bottles of lemonade3 packs of biscuits 1 packet of cakes 1 pack of pens 2 bottles of suntan lotion lol 2 packets of ham sliced and washing powder and 2 bottles of washing up liquid spent £21  if i bought these items say co op ms or sainsburys looking at £30 plus. But i agree with ken people tend to buy 2s and 3s of the same items thats why the shelves might look bare.people saying i went there 2 or 3 in the afternoon and it was empty.the shop opens at 8am everyone dont shop at the sametime1😉

well said teddyboy23 

The place wouldn’t take Amex due to “a problem” twice last week. Nobody had a clue as to when Amex would be accepted again. Shelves were oddly empty but only a few of them. It’s clean, bright and not crowded and I got what I’d gone in for (and a few things I’d not had on my list). 7.5/10 

I went in there just after 5pm and it was reasonably busy with customers, but was able to walk straight to a self-service till and pay.

I like the fact it's open until 9pm so I can grab some food as there's more food than the Poundland's in Camberwell and Peckham.

a lot of shops won't take amex as the charge is a lot more than the other banks from the business ....think your find that's why  i know 3 shops that don't take it so i use one of my other bank cards ....easy

Thing is, Poundland does accept it and has for ages but this branch has an ongoing IT problem, it seems. I had no other card and no cash the first time I went. 

  • 1 month later...

I went into Poundland just to see if anything had changed since it opened.

It struck me that quite a few  of the things they are selling can actually be bought a lot cheaper elsewhere, eg tea lights, so I'm unclear quite what is the point.

I did buy a bright yellow dustpan and brush for £1.25. Bargain (if it doesn't disintegrate the first time I use it 🤣)

I don't think they (the company as a whole) claim items will cheaper than anywhere else...?

"Poundland"

Is there actually anything for a pound?

Seems like their original USP is no longer valid. Just another shop.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
