The Pound Shop

Everything from shopping trolleys to tennis rackets hang from the ceiling. Shelves stacked high with mouse traps, underpants and plastic bird nests give way to boxes full of fake flowers, football tops and face flannels. The question is: what don't they sell, here in this bargain Chatsworth emporium. A builder in the middle of buying screws asks: 'How much for the football, mate, 50p?, when someone interrupts with: 'Do you have any men's perfume?"
