It was funny to see the two 'bargain basement' shops at the bottom of the Parade having it out this week. The pound shop 'Bargain Crazy' has just opened only 2 doors down from the original bargain/low price shop that's been there for a while.

Most noticeably, the longer-standing shop has plastered every available window with 'lots of stock 89p' and 'why pay £1 when you can pay 89p' posters, and there are lots of neon sticky stars over everything.

I'd love to see what the next stage is - newspaper smear campaigns?
