In this podcast I once again tantalise Lord David Bick - PR bully boy to Del Boy Lenigas - a new discussion is at the end. I start with Rare Earth Minerals (REM) - following up from here - then move onto Leed Resources (LDP), New World (NEW), Poundland (PLND), Optibiotix (OPTI), Bovis Homes (BVS), Johsnton Press (JPR) and fianlly to Solo Oil (SOLO), a company associated with Jabba the Hutt.

Lol. You should go in Poundland and take a look at some of the items they sell. I have been in a few times and on quite a few occasions have been surprised by some of the products they sell.Great value products and cat food and treats are branded and cheap 2 for a £!. :)

A TV program about the Poundland concept and its operational methods interviewed staff serving in the shops . The interviewer asked “ what is the most common question you are asked by customers” the staff all laughed and said “how much is this please?” Some staff admitted to being asked so often that they kept a record and held bets with each other on how many times the question would occur in the day. Some staff dream of being asked the question repeatedly, whilst others had to leave the company after being driven to the verge of insanity by customers asking “how much is this please” Which left me wondering “just how expensive are products in poundland?”
