Woolworths
« on: 22 November 2008, 23:12:57 »
As most of you probably know, Woolies is in financial trouble. Tossing aside the economic arguments for a moment, I for one would be genuinely sad if the company sank. Since I was boy, I've regularly used my local branch, even more so now I have kids. There is something special about their pick n/ mix sweets, their toy section and the "Ladybird" brand of school clothes.

I'm sure the big supermarkets may offer better selections, and possibly cheaper prices, but Woolies will always be special for me.

Hope it can be rescued. :y
