Today I think I went in to a Woolworths for the last time, probably ever.
I felt a little sad.
Most of the store was cordoned off and what little stock they had left was scattered in blue 'totes' and there was a shelf full of 'Diana - The Concert' DVD's and a few random computer/console games.
Hell, they were even selling the staff room microwave.
What a shame the iconic British High Street store will be gone in less than a week. I have fond memories of going there in the summer holidays to pick up my new pencil case, pencils, pens and erasers for the start of the new school term, and going with my Dad and Brother every Christmas to get what seemed like the worlds biggest bag of Pick 'n' Mix.
I always thought there would be a place for Woolies and I think the staff have done a sterling job turning up every morning for work, knowing that where they were going was slowly dying.
R.I.P. Woolworths - it was fun while it lasted.
