I run a small business and buy most of my smaller stationery items from them, plus all sorts of other bits. When they ring everything up and it’s under a tenner I can never quite believe it!

I must say when we lost Woolworths I was hoping for a Poundland or even (Nirvana!) an 99p shop to open in its place and was disappointed when we got an Iceland instead, though they do sell things you wouldn’t want to eat for a pound.

However, I live in Bethnal Green Road, have furnished my kitchen from those shops and am able to assure you that nothing is one pound but rather John Lewis prices! 😀
