Pound Wise

I was collecting a prescription at Boots' pharmacy this morning and passed that remarkable emporium, Poundland.

The reading glasses are extraordinary value at - you guessed it - one pound. Now that my distance vision has been lasered, I require reading glasses more often, you see.

I bought two pairs this morning, one for the bedroom; another for the computer room. I have a third pair for my sitting-room! Even my aunt is keen to acquire a pair now!

I also spotted mini cans of WD40 oil at, indeed, one pound; so I bought two.

Splendid.
