Last Days: Woolworths
Went into Woolies here in Reading a couple of days ago to see what was left on the shelves. They truly are selling everything. People were literally buying the shelves the remaining products were sitting on. I also saw them offering the tills for £150 – considered getting one so I could play shopkeeper, but no.

Pretty much everything was gone. Apart from the below fella’s book. Give it up! Â People won’t even buy your work when it’s heavily discounted.
Poor Cliff.
That’s not the end of Woolworths for those in the southern hemisphere however. Â The brand lives on as a supermarket – I do remember Woolworths being a cheap department/variety store in New Zealand when I was very young, but it transitioned to a supermarket there many years ago.
I won’t miss Woolworths. I only ever bought 1 pair of gardening gloves and a can of “V” from it.
