[wilson8383ify]

i worked there before it closed and you had the feeling that a whole empier was crumbling

[echoplextic]

r.i.p woolworths 

[StezzerLolz]

So long Woolies.

[padraigtzn]

thought steeling pick n' mix was ok? you killed wooly's

[Willwillwritehiswill]

@padraigtzn Woolies was saddled with millions of debt when it split from the kingfisher group in the 80s. the collapse was inevitable.

Although the pick'n'mix was probably a contributory factor. How DARE people take those yellow bellied snakes!

[padraigtzn]

@Willwillwritehiswill i guess you liked the snakes then, and mitch benn

[jordanmcpartland]

it was a rumor :(

[Tarja500]

awesome

[riceball456]

you've only just found this out now? btw it was just 1 shop

[Iamthe1Liz]

I miss Woolworths...if only because they were the only place outside of airport Duty Free that sold white toblerone, the best chocolate money can buy!

[Starman117]

@Iamthe1Liz Good news, the supermarkets sell them now.

[HinTFishy]

Apparently they've all gone to Wilkinson, at least around here. :-) Nice to know someone is still looking after them, it's kind of like the wolves in Scotland.

[goatboy42]

@HinTFishy I never thought the answer is so obvious, they make aldi look like fortnum and mason

[quickshotproductions]

[IzzysRockingsocks]

bye bye woolworths

i never really went there but it will still be missed

well kind of

[xxLOWStaNdardxxx]

FOUND YOU.

Well, Lydia found you anyway..

[Splatzone]

Aww I miss it already!

I did however manage to get 2 staffroom seats, one of those signs the staff fill in with the money-off, and a hand basket.

You couldn't tell they were from Woolies just from looking at them, but they're a piece of history now.

I wish I wasn't so sentimental!

[DJsubtract]

Thank's for the laughs from the soon to be out of work-staff from Belfast, N.Ireland.
