Now Walmart has taken over just about all sales of that kind. I wonder they haven't made it to your neck of the woods. They seem to be on every corner here.<BR/>'On Ya'-maI'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110392363965889177.post-54870586413790732242008-12-11T18:13:00.000+00:002008-12-11T18:13:00.000+00:00Woolies started in america guido and the uk branch...Woolies started in america guido and the uk branch only came under british ownership seperate to the american side in the early 1980's...The american side closed in the late 1990's i think...To be honest their sale ain't that great even for a normal sale let alone a closing down one...I know several people who work in the branch here and they still don't know if they are going to have a job for much longer or not :o(Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145418481505294284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110392363965889177.post-9067437974406514922008-12-11T17:27:00.000+00:002008-12-11T17:27:00.000+00:00We know in this country what it is like to be at t...We know in this country what it is like to be at the mercy of a limited man in charge.

My Mum worked there, I had a Saturday job there and most of our shopping came from there because you could buy everything from pots and pans, to needles and thread, from toys to sweets. In the end there will only be one big supermarket where we will all have to shop. The coming of the hypermarkets tolled the knell for high street shops. There will never again be anything quite like good old Woolies. I also feel for all those losing their jobs in this economic climate.Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078705412065613819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110392363965889177.post-5145297453851631902008-12-11T13:38:00.000+00:002008-12-11T13:38:00.000+00:00We used to have Woolworths here.
