The high street is so dead the opening of a Poundland is considered an event.

  1. Imagine the shame of someone stood near the front of that queue, scrolling through r/CasualUK to pass the time and seeing this photo

  2. I went to the grand opening of a store (similar to Iceland) near me as I heard they were giving out sweets and chocolate.

    I ate my body weight in flavoured sugar and Cadburys, bought nothing and left.

  3. So people are aware, there is another Poundland a 2 minute walk from this one.

  4. My Mrs just started working in the new ‘the range’ that opened yesterday in Chelmsford, and there were people queueing for a couple of hours before opening time, queued all the way down the high street, apparently there were people queuing inside the store itself for 40 minutes to use the cafe as if theres not a hundred other places to eat within 5 minute walk.

    On a nice side tho, loads of the local restaurants bought round huge bags of food after closing time for the new range staff as a welcome to the neighborhood.

  5. High Street is so dead our school did a geography trip on whether Exeter high street is dead or not. I am happy to tell you it is

  6. Poundland events are funny as fuck. One near me had a book signing and it some Z-list celebrity signing their autobiography that apparently had gone straight to Poundland. It was called “Poundland Fun Day”

  7. I was in town the day the B&M just down the road from that had its grand opening and the queue was half way down the High Street. People of Bedford just love cheap tat it seems.
