    Poundland booms

    Profits are up 80%, new stores opening all over the place (not least from the ashes of Woolworth) and they don't expect to suffer if the economy recovers.

      Yeah, inflation is going to kill them. Even at the official 4%, that's 4% harder to keep things at a pound every year, compoundlanded.

        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          At Tescos I just got a bunch of clothes, normally 5 quid each, at half price as the missus had lots of vouchers. Only way to keep up with inflation. What's wrong with trousers made of newspaper anyway?

            I did my annual visit to one of their stores at the w/e and got a pair of winter gloves (although I have no doubt I'll lose one within weeks).

                Perhaps I was calling you something else..!

                You are though, I am sure of it. The lack of punctuation seems far too deliberate, as does your writing style.
