Memories of Woolworths
22 Answers
Part of getting old I guess but I can still remember trips to Woolies with my beloved Grandma and spending hours looking at all the "treasures" I could buy with my 2bob. And with Christmas just gone it reminds me of my delightful grandpa showing the greatest of pleasure with his annual present from me as a child of a yellow plastic tobacco pouch and making me feel I had got him "just what I wanted my girl" when he really preferred his old St Bruno tin:) Anyone else losing these kind of memories?

Ohh heck, I'm getting sad now - wish I'd not started lol Blame the telegraph for it's old photos of Woolies that started the question :)

my Gf worked for woolies, shes been made redundant but she's got another job lined up better pay etc, and she shoud recieve some rendundancy entitlement. shes been there about 6 years.
on the upside, today they had 90% off everything as it was this particular stores last day of trading, so we have 700 pounds worth of xbox and playstation stuff sitting around that she got for..... a whopping, 13 english pounds .
ebay profit ahoy !!
Woolies problem was they never moved with the times, they never had a "indiviual appeal" , they continued to charge extortionate profit for cds, games, consoles, etc .
Thats probably not entirely fair, thing is retail just cant keep up for the internet, people would rather order stuff from the interweb at 2am in their underwear whilst eating wotsits and get it delivered to their door instead of as said already, going into town, parking up, standing in a queue and paying extra for the priviledge .
Retail is only going to get worse, whsmith isnt looking great but electronics are going to soon vanish as well , currys, pc world, comet etc .
Sad but inevitable.
