  • This brings back many memories. I was 9 years old in 1981 and still sing this at christmas time, i've always remembered this xmas ad. Such a shame what happened to woolies. Our goverment should have saved woolworth....it would'nt have cost that much if you compare it to how match the greedy banks were bailed our for...... greedy bastards.... RIP good old woolies

  • The quintessential christmas advert with a really catchy tune. The memories have come flooding back. Not a computer in sight! I don't know why but I still whistle the tune around christmas time! By the way (Knight3857) - didn't see Una Stubbs in the advert. I think the 'ringmaster' is Anita Harris - quite a popular singer and actress in the 60's and 70's. She had her own show at one point. I think she has fallen on hard times of late. It was in the papers. Shame about Woolies... :(

  • What are the goodies doing in this.

  • @am1933 Yeah but check the price out...it cost a fortune then

  • LOL I thought I was the only one who sings this still! it drives my wife mad,.....

  • Remember when this came out for the very first time. The papers told us what time it was being broadcast and thought it was amazing as it went on for so long. Looking back at the stuff they were advertising though.................. pretty piss poor by today's standards.

  • The Woolworths in Walsall was replaced with TJ Huges, that went bump too as it was like a low quality Woolworths. Now we have a Poundland in there to go with the other Poundland, 99p store and some other pound shop with a name i forget... Closest to Woolworths is probably our Wilkinson store.

  • HAVE A FUCKING CHRISSTMAS AT WOOLWATHS AND SHOVE IT DOWN FREE

  • And nearly time for me to drive my kids mental,as I sing this jingle every year!Adverts so much better then,tho that new John Lewis ad with the Smiths track nearly makes me cry!!Just lovely xx

  • Lol,my mum has that Elvis chrimbo record,comes out every year!.Didn't get from woolies tho,Boots record shop!Anyone remember them??

  • Poor Old Woolworths, really a sign of the times that they shut down.

  • look at the size of that quality street tin!, obviously not just me getting bigger as I got older.
