it sure is the end of a era

thanks mau i never realised they couldnt sign on

Always found that the Woolies stores in different towns varied according to site availability and to whatever they stocked accordingly. When I was a kid our local W's had two floors and, as some one else said, like theirs it had everything from a food hall to toys, furnishing items and paint. Many a time I have found some item I wanted in Woolies if nowhere else. Will definitely miss it from the high street.

pic n mix for me lol

SOME GOOD NEWS ICELAND
HAVE BOUGHT 40 OF THE WOOLWORTHS STORES
AND ARE LOOKING AT
EMPLOYING SOME OF THE WOOLIES EX STAFF

that's good news Joy isn't it. I never used Wooly's that much I must confess and think it has been in serious decline long before the credit crunch. It's good tho if some of those staff get their jobs back.

Used to go to a Woolies where ever were we out and about on hols .Got something from each one! Ladybird clothes when kids were young,videos,and best of all the pick and mix...who remembers miners make up?? and there were always hair clips and plastic chunky bangles.. Last thing i bought from Woolies in i think Henly,was Dusty Springfields album,and still have christmas decorations from 1970s ,in their boxes...flog it of the future i think!!!!

This was my first real saturday job way back in the early seventies, also when we were very young my mum worked in woolies on the sweetie section. in th edgware rd,. Christmas was great and we would pop in to see her on saturdays and pick a sweetie Probaly our fault woolies went down hill. Although i did work hard in the old marylebone road store on Electricals.
