Poundland opened its first shop on 13 December 1990, in the Octagon Centre in Burton upon Trent. A pound back then would buy about what £2.90 to £2.95 buys today.
A pound today is worth about 34p in 1990 money.
1 ÷ 2.9 is about 0.34. Prices have risen 195% since then, so the British pound has lost 66% of its value since the first store was opened.
It's ironic really.
