Pound Stores

[poliphilo]

I don't like pound stores. There's a kind of metaphysical griminess about them  They make you feel poverty-stricken even if you're not.  The lighting is dim, the aisles are oppressive, the music is intrusive.

But...

Yesterday we bought two alarm clocks (two alarm clocks!) for 99p.

Perhaps I'm overstating the negative. Ailz likes these places well enough. My instinct is to grab what I want and head for the cashier.
