B&M stands for Billington & Mayman. But it also stands for brilliant & magical. And bonkers & maddening. And budget & marvelous.

Now, go forth. Share this trivia with a friend. Watch their face light up. Then run to the middle aisle and find the weirdest thing you can buy for under a fiver. Go on. I dare you.
Because B&M isn’t just a shop. It’s a state of mind. And yes, it’s named after two curtain-selling geezers. How brilliant is that?
