Poundland now have an Elvis impersonator as the recorded voice at their self service checkouts. This is hilarious the first time you use them, but then deeply irritating on all subsequent occasions.

Thank god it wasn't me having a senior moment. Went there last week and thought Elvis was talking to me at the checkout, then I thought "no, that can't be right".

Assuming you're not of these shores and genuinly asking and not having an aversion to the poor people in the world (reminds me of Will and Grace on Les Mis "will there be poor people singing again? I'm not going if there's poor people singing") It is a mysterious land where everything costs £1. (or thereabouts). It's a Dollar Store for British people. Oh em, it was my febble attempt at humour as in the Dowager Duchess in "Downton Abbey" "What is a weekend". 🤣Well I got it and appreciated it hulmeman , I love that line, and will happily use it myself since I retired from work (hurrah for me !). It winds people up no end. . It can be adapted too, as in “what is a Bank Holiday?”. I’m also reminded of Brian Sewell’s comment “what is Sunny Delight?” . I can’t recall the exact context but he was being deliberately supercilious and oblivious to the radioactive beverage being consumed at that time, by presumably poorer people.
