In for a Penny, in for . . . well 75p actually

Walking past one of the many pound shops in Great Yarmouth there's a sign in the window.

"SALE NOW ON" ??

And on the subject . . .

I used to know a lot of the traders in Regent Road. This is the main thoroughfare from the market to the seafront and full of "novelty" shops and tourist stuff.

One of my regular customers was next door to a pound shop (no, not the one with the sale). I was chatting away when all of a sudden there was a scream/shout from next door and the sound of things being thrown.

"Don't worry" says my customer, "It's him in the pound shop",

"At least once a day somebody asks the price of something in there and he's getting a bit tired of it"

I went back the following week, the pound shop was closed.
