Pound store

From Frikipedia

Origins

Originally, this was a shop where everything cost a quid. People would go and buy things that were worth more than £1, and ignore everything that was overpriced.

Progress

Now, everthing costs £1 or more, meaning that everything is overpriced.

The Cheapest Christmas Ever

One Christmas time, during university, when Friki and its friends were all scrounging students, of the ilk who would probably have baulked at the idea of having to shell out even a penny of their hard given cash on life-saving surgery, they all celebrated Christmas by "Secret Santa"-ing presents from a local pound shop.

This meant that around 30 people from Friki's hall of residence gathering around the festive traffic cone and exchanging gifts, with the guarantee that everyone would hate their present.

Some poor unfortunate received Friki's gift of a VHS tape of "The Best of Stars In Their Eyes", whilst Friki received three bags of cheap pound shop-spec Haribo.

The prize for best gift went to the person that had somehow managed to source a novelty dog toy in the shape of William Hague. Genius.
