A man has described his horror after spotting 'seedy' stag and hen party paraphernalia on display in a pound store.

Daniel Sidderley, 36, was shocked when he noticed the rude products on the shelves of Poundland in Stockport at the weekend.

The operations manager said bundles of penis straws, novelty rubber breasts and 'willy boppers' were displayed among everyday items such as birthday cards.

Daniel, from Heaton Chapel, said he saw some parents shielding their children's eyes as they walked past.

"I was disturbed by what was on display," said Daniel.

"I would describe some of it as pornographic material and it was all accessible for children to see.

"It was mostly stag and hen party paraphernalia. There were erect penis straws, blow up sheep and headbands with penises on springs.

"It was the kind of thing you'd expect to see on a specialist ebay site or relegated to a seedy back street shop.

"I just couldn't believe it was displayed among all the other stock and not more hidden at the back or somewhere high up.

"Some unsupervised children were looking at it while other parents were shielding their kids' eyes as they walked past."

Daniel, who was shopping with his young niece and nephew, said he complained to a member of staff while he was in the store but was told it was the manager's day off.

"The supervisor gave me an old receipt for a ham sandwich with the web address circled with blue ink," added Daniel.

"I was told: 'If you have a complaint you can contact customer services. You’ll find the contact details on the website.' "

Daniel did receive a response to his complaint from the customer relations team at Poundland on Monday.

An email sent to Daniel said: "While we know some of the items in our stag and hen party range won't be to everyone's taste, they sell extremely well and the majority of customers appreciate the tongue-in-cheek humour."

A spokesperson for Poundland said: "While we know some of the items in our stag and hen party range won’t be to everyone’s taste, they sell extremely well and the majority of customers appreciate the tongue-in-cheek humour. Sadly, it’s hard not offend someone these days, but we appreciate the feedback."
