In this day and age a pound isn't a lot , 3 sausage rolls is a pound at greggs....what else can some people buy for a mere pound nowadays??

go on then, i'll play, a Football Club.


and an interesting bit of trivia, Morecambe Central Pier was for sale once for a £1 after the first fire when had been partly burnt, aslong as you repaired it, iconic for seaside resorts.

Most items in Acorn Antiques on the prom (bar the towels)

2/5 of a quality pie?

for the sake of all sanity, please nobody walk past St. Nicholas Arcades.... could be the longest thread ever!

Weren't Chelski sold for a pound once? Look where they are now!

So if you bought say, dunno , a large business for a pound, like errr Focus on westgate , and it went bust , You could sell the place to Home bargains and make a fortune ???

The Queen Vic in Albert Square is facing closure too, I wonder if that could be bought for a pound.

Chelsea.. yeah a pound, mind you, land in London has always been a bad investment.

That's just buying the land the failed business is on really, then knocking it down and building something new on the same site, like erm a housing estate!

Lucky for us that Abdullah ...via mr Burnard , love MFC , so thats not going to happen to us.....anyway back to the subject at hand

Used to be able to buy two gas lighters or a bungee ball from Horseshoe Corner...

Hopefully we can avoid the same fate

£1 for the thoughts of Mr P....sounds good value to me....

without doubt the best value for a £1 is pick a mix at poundland in Lancaster. Not only is this about £15 cheaper than vue cinema. They let you fill it up with fudge

people go on about other people should be supporting their local club, how about supporting your local cinema, on the border of closing.

I have been thinking for a while that it is time the manager of Vue was sacked. His poor product placement of Malteasers and consistently putting the same staff on during the busiest periods is a joke!

I am not going back until he is fired! REEL all the way for me!
