The Brief
Is Poundland ready for the Single European Currency? It’s in the name…
The Loony Letter
Dear Poundland,
I would like to know your company’s official stance on the following dilemma.
As I am sure you are aware, there is a strong chance that Britain will be joining the Single European Currency in the near future. In this event, will you be changing your name from Poundland to Euroland? Would the price of your items be one Euro, or would you charge one Euro and 48 Cents (the equivalent of one Pound)?
Thank-you for your assistance in this matter,
Yours Sincerely,
Bill Bennett

The Review
It’s worrying that they don’t know… or maybe they do know, but just don’t want to tell us. Either way, it doesn’t make much difference to us – we don’t shop in Poundland.
erm…….who’s ‘Daniel’?
