The end of an era, bye bye Woolworths
 

Seems a shame that a high street household name is going to gone forever.
The only place I knew where I could walk in, buy a doormat, sweets, a couple of cheap DVD's, a drink, some sewing needles, wonderweb for turning up me trousers and a replacement zip!
What other kind of shop sells that stuff?

Yep, bye...

.
 

Yes,I,for one,will miss your eclectic music section-and always at such incredibly competitive prices to boot!

Well,at least the counter jollies invariably found saying "nah sorry no stoooock" will be able to keep McDonalds in emergency staff..

BAH!:p

You'll miss all the cheap vibrating plastic toys and dressing up gear too......

How coarse

Ian, Woolworths is part of our National Heritage! How can you say it like that!?!?! That's sooo hurtful!

Did you not get to wear the fantastic Winfield Trainers with their 4 stripes instead of the cool brigade at school with their Adidas Kicks!

Nope....

It's a shop full of hateful plastic shite.....

Well yes, but the pic 'n' mix section was brilliant for kids!

When was the last time you actually bought something from Woolies/?, I don't think I ever have

got a magic carpet for our back door from there a few months ago!
and a reel of cotton for sewing! oh, and some tupperware!
