Does anybody else but me, use these shops?

Last week I acquired a USB lava lamp.

For a quid - perfick.

Surely Wenchy must avail herself here.

I needed a magnifying glass a few months ago (the old one broke). Couldn't find one anywhere until I ventured into the local pound shop.
What a result!  ;D  It's even got a Philips screwdriver in the handle!

I am sitting (gingerly) at my computer desk and the USB Lava lamp that Tel gave me is casting a mellifluous glow.

Unfortunately the female staff in the pub (and a bemused Snakey) mistook the lava lamp for a sex toy!
