There is something enormously fun about being given a pound and being asked to go to Poundworld and buy the best thing in the shop. Everything is a pound, or you can buy multiples of items for a pound (eg 3 cans of coke). There is a huge a selection of things to buy. It's like that silly game we play in media strategy - if you had a pound/dollar - how would you spend it. But it is for real.
We - Ollie, George and myself - were in the middle of buying presents and we took a detour to go in poundworld. We couldn't contain ourselves to just one pound and came away with six things - solar powered light, knee length socks, changing colour light, small gardening spade, gnome, and a pack of many many AAA batteries.
I have decided when we want a cheap family day out, that we give everyone a pound and go to Poundworld.
