An ex employee on Poundland's prices
Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp.
She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually.
In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1.
Holly uploaded her video with the caption "I heard this a lot" as she said: 'POV: Not everything's £1 in Poundland'.
Holly explained that customers would often say to her: 'But this is the pound shop, is it not?'
"That's very misleading, I'll only pay for that if it's a pound.'
'Disgusting, what a rip off."

Sabrina Carpenter hits back at criticism of new cover art
Sabrina Carpenter has responded to criticism claiming the cover art of Man's Best Friend would be 'reducing women to pets'. Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio record on June 11 via Instagram: 'My new album, 'Mans Best Friend' is out on August 29, 2025.' The cover shows the singer on her knees, dressed in black, with her hair being pulled by an unidentified man. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sabrina Carpenter (@sabrinacarpenter) Glasgow Womens Aid, a charity that supports women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse, criticised her choice of imagery on the record cover. In a Facebook post (June 12), the organisation said the following: 'Sabrina Carpenters new album cover isnt edgy, its regressive. Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it Mans Best Friend isnt subversion. Its a throwback to tired tropes that reduce women to pets, props, and possessions and promote an element of violence and control.' In a recent interview with Rolling Stone , Carpenter shared her thoughts on the backlash Man's Best Friend received, saying the criticism is unjustified. 'I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like Ive never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinised in every capacity. Im not just talking about me. Im talking about every female artist that is making art right now,' said Carpenter. 'I'm living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care,' she added. 'I can not give a fuck about it, because I'm just so excited.' The singer released the lead single of her new record, 'Manchild' on June 5, with Man's Best Friend coming out August 29.

THIS is the embarrassing moment a man sits down on a crystal-studded 'Van Gogh' chair for a picture - only for it to buckle beneath him. The two senseless visitors caused "serious damage" to the valuable artwork, the Italian art gallery revealed. 2 Aman and woman can be seen waiting for security to leave the room at Maffei Palace in Verona Credit: Facebook 2 The chair instantly breaks apart, with the man left reaching his arms back towards the walls for support Credit: Facebook The chair, designed by Italian artist Nicola Bolla, is adorned with hundreds of Swarovski crystals making it "extremely fragile and delicate", according to local media. In the shocking CCTV footage, a man and woman can be seen waiting for security to leave the room at Maffei Palace in Verona, before posing for the snap that ended in disaster. The two senseless visitors caused "serious damage" to the valuable artwork While the woman appears to hover over the chair to avoid placing her weight on it, the man daringly decides to take a seat. The chair instantly breaks apart, with the man left reaching his arms back towards the walls for support. The pair then surreptitiously scurry out of the room, leaving the artwork in a crooked state. Following the incident, the museum released a statement on its social media accounts. Shock moment tourist jumps railing and plunges 18ft into Terracotta Army pit before smashing two priceless statues It read: "Every museum's nightmare has become reality, even in Palazzo Maffei.

An irresponsible gesture caused serious damage to Nicola Bolla's "Van Gogh" chair, a very delicate work, covered entirely with hundreds of Swarovski crystals." The museum explained that thanks to "restorers who did a fantastic job", along with Italian law enforcement, "the piece is shining once again". It added: "We are sharing this episode not only for the sake of reporting, but to start a real campaign to raise awareness about the value of art and the respect it deserves.
