You are correct. BTW, you can buy £1 HDMI leads in Poundland, and
they work fine too.

Useful to know. Having rejected those costing £20 or more in Maplins,
Currys etc, I opted for one costing about £2 from some ebay seller,
which worked fine. Then I discovered Poundland and was annoyed that I'd
failed to survey the market properly.

Incidentally, I don't know if they do HDMI cables, but my experience is
that the 99p store chain has goods which are even better value for
money. One or two things I've got from Poundland have been so shoddy
that I've had to take them back for a refund.

Good for you. A lot of people will simply chuck 'em in the bin and
shrug their shoulders on the false premise that it's not worth the
effort for the sake of a one pound refund. These people are shirking
in their duty as 'good citizens' / 'concientious consumers' in doing
their bit to provide these emporia with the feedback they deserve.

It surely can't be too onerous a task to keep a box or bag marked "£
shop returns" handy for such items and the appropriate receipt(s)
ready for the next 'shopping trip' that takes you near to the £ shop
in question.
