Actually, Poundland is more comparable to Dollar Tree (where everything is sold for 1 USD).

Walmart owns Asda, although I'm not sure how similar the shops are.


I don't know if this is true or not, but I remember someone telling me that  Americans bought houses out of Walmart. I don't mean as an Estate Agent, but they would buy a plot of land, and then go and buy the house in kit form out of Walmart.
Those funny Americans with their strange customs

It's fun going to poundland (yes where everything is a pound)  and trying to barter,  say offering 99p

The staff are no fun, and have little patience.

It wasn't WalMart, but Sears and Roebucks in the late 19th and early 20th century.  This model cost between $1,548 and $1,845 dollars.

Didn't know about Asda.  There is not one round here.  I had no idea they were that big.

I use Tesco.

That house looks lovely. I had visions of the houses being one step up from a garden shed, but I could happily live in something like that.

Yes you can do that at some of them. Walmart is like a super store. You can get everything there. Everything. Food, computers, lawn fertilizer, clothes, haircuts, houses. It's huge. There are actually other stores inside walmart, there are like 5 other stores inside at the one by my house. I go there because it's the cheapest place in town. I dont make enough money to care about it, really. But I agree they are scum.

[bodie]

Agreed,  that house is very appealing.

I wonder how many trips it took to carry the kit home.

It was shipped by rail and then hauled by horse and wagon to the site.  I imagine most were put together by local carpenters.

Unless the homeowner was capable of assembling it himself, he had help either from local carpenters or in some cases the neighbors got together and helped the homeowner.  Everything was precut to fit and labelled for reasonably easy assembly.

Yeah, a kind of Ultimate Jigsaw Puzzle.
