Perhaps I should pass on the "special Umbrella Markers" (I'll buy anything if it is labelled correctly!) when we have finished with them - I love your idea.

As for Poundland - they are going to suffer most when we eventually change over to the euro!

My husband got in a right state when he bought a copy of Gazetta dello Sport yesterday in London - marked as 1euro - they would not accept his euro but instead charged him £1.40. I am almost tempted to get rid of the offending item and hope he has forgotten about it overnight. He is working from home today and I have a feeling it will still be his only topic of conversation!
