There seems to be a proliferation of these 'Pound Stores' in Glasgow these days. One of the chains is called 'Gift World (Everything a Pound)'. Well no wonder Scots have the Stereotype of being careful with their cash if they are only prepared to spend a pound on a gift. I believe that they have very similar stores in the USA except everything is one Dollar. Now, with the Dollar currently trading at two Dollars to the Pound it begs the question....Are we getting ripped off and paying double the price for our £1 gifts or is the stuff in the American stores just cheap rubbish?
