  1. To the gentleman working at #Poundland in Kendal who told me the tape dispenser in the 3-for-£3 offer would be compatible with the Sellotape rolls in the same offer: it is not 🤣 The width is right but there’s too much tape to fit in the dispenser.

  2. Poundland in Accrington, Lancashire (the English one) today refused to allow access an operator till for a customer in a wheelchair, so she told the staff member she was welcome to put it all back on the shelf.
    Totally agree.
    They already had a girl working a proper till, but she was only willing to do a refund for a lady who’d bought the wrong batteries.
    Don’t care how ‘cheap’ the goods are (and they’re not a ‘Pound’ in that store any more). If you force folk to use self-service tills, you don’t deserve any business. Not just from disabled customers either.
    Can guarantee the millionaire owners/board are not on minimum wage, or using self-service tills.

  4. Ever wondered how Poundland is so cheap? Well, they skipped out on £160k of taxes just in Norwich. How much have they dodged elsewhere?

    Council writes off £650,000 in debts owed by firms - including two High Street giants

  6. Bought a small 2000 mAh #powerbank for £3 in #Poundland in the UK and it is the same form factor as the Power Geek branded banks that they used to sell 7 years ago for £2 with a very slightly reduced capacity,
    This is excellent timing as I have 4 of the older banks that have been well used and I was looking to source some replacement 18650 cells as the capacities are very reduced on a couple of them.
    If the new bank holds a decent charge I may buy a couple more.

  8. Poundland sold for a pound. They had been going down for a while with their electronic stuff being the first to go off the shelves. Guess their product range will contract further now.

    #BigClive and #Ashens will have to look elsewhere for their tat :)

  13. Today in terrible password policies: Poundland.

    Poundland’s Password Policy Pains:
    - maximum length
    - restricts symbols
    - LIMITS CHARACTER TYPES!?!?

    That last one is new to me!

  15. Dollar Tree now charges $1.25.
    Which is about £1.
    They should rename it Poundland or somethin' like.

  19. I’m not saying I find modern life confusing but I bought 4 items from #Poundland yesterday. 1 of them was £1.25 and the total came to £3.75.

  21. This set is useless for removing these hex screws that fasten the metal housing for a COB LED I found on the street. Did this get snapped off from a vehicle or a flashing street sign?

    The hex-star bits don't fit the screws properly and the metal is too soft so they just get chewed up

    The PCB has 3 LEDs on each side. All 6 seem to be working. 3 in series, both sides in parallel. Total forward voltage of about 7.6V

  24. Oh noes! Have managed to lose a leg of my #Poundland reading glasses. 👓 🦿 How long can I go on one leg before another trip to the shop? Wow #Legless as a teetotaller.

  28. A salvaged Li-poly battery from a discarded vape pen I found on the ground outside now powers my enhanced "Noel" decoration from that uses a meteor shower light for the internal electronics

  30. Public service announcement: #Poundland are doing chocolate liqueurs for 2 packets for £2, and they're pretty nice (normally I think the cheapy ones are shit). Will be getting more before Christmas.

  31. Privilege: checked.

    Knock off Ferrero Rocher from #Poundland are pretty tasty. Outdoor texture not the same, and aftertaste not identical, but enjoyable luxury snack

  32. @matt They got Fairy dishwash soap and for my wife it brings back memories of #Poundland
