Novelty Wasps Only A Quid! (While Stocks Last)

Every time I’m in town getting to the bus stop to get home I’m always out of change. Not sometimes- always.

The obvious solution is to go to the nearest shop and split a note. And this I do. Conveniently, the shop right next to the bus stop is one of those EVERYTHING-COSTS-A-POUND type shops. One of those shops that’s almost always called something like PRICECRUSHER or PRICE INVADER and makes you wonder why they don’t just call it PRICEFUCKER.

Anyway, this one is called Quids and it’s where I go every time I need to catch the bus and need to split a five or ten pound note. The ‘merchandise’ varies neither in quality nor price. Everything costs exactly one Great British Pound and is of the most amazingly shit quality and, without exception, of little or no discernible use.

And so I regularly take these items home. Purely through necessity… They are so terrifically crap you couldn’t even give them away.

Take, for example, the outsize plastic wasp ornament. It’s about the size of a large shoe, has no identifiable purpose (including decoration) and is photographed on the packet stuck to a tree in a garden.

Bargain!
