I could not believe what I read across my screen this morning. Woolworths to talk to their bank about going into adminstration. I like Woolworths, they have always been a favourite of mine. Cheap toys, cd's, cards and other things. I hope that they do not cease trading... it will be very:( if they do. Is this the begining of the end for all business this year? I hope not. Who else enjoys shopping at Woolworths is this also the end of an era for the company? I really hope not.:(

That Woolworth's is still around, I thought it would have went tits up years ago.
Woolworth's has seen its market in everything disappear. Woolworth's no longer fits in with the high street of 2009. This is the fault of Woolies, fair and square.
I have no real affection for Woolworth's, it will go out of business in the next two weeks, I cant see anyone putting money into the business as an investment.
Another one bites the dust :thumb:
Its a shame its gone tits up but no surprise really!
The general DVDs, etc, pretty much the same price if not more than everyone else with very little in the way of real of siginificant offers. Just always felt like a cheap shop that didn't bother selling anything cheap.
Every single Woolworths I have been into in recent times is in dire need of a full reburbishment. They failed to modernise themselves when every other company was moving with the times. Unfortunately, I agree with the comment that they did this to themselves. They cannot keep going on pick n mix. They stayed in the early 90s when everywhere else moved with the times.
The only good thing about Woolies now is that it still the main place to buy Cadbury's Créme Eggs. Last time I checked for créme eggs though (in early June '08), they didn't have any.
Unlikely, though.
Same here, I think everything is expensive, well compared to most cheap shops (Home Bargains;) ) I do like their kids clothes, and they are good quality, but they are rather highly priced!
It would be a shame if they went tho.
my brother works their part time whilst at university so he is going to be really screwed if he loses his job because there are no jobs in the area. the nearest jobs are about 20 miles away feel really sorry for him as it took him a while to get a job there too and it isn't bad for a part time job.
Oh I just remembered my favourite Back Scrubber is from Woolies, better buy a new one before it's too late ..
where will i go for my pick & mix now?
:yes:
And you weigh it yourself, so you can cheat.
Not that I would EVER do such a thing, cause it's basically stealing :nervous:
not as good as woolies though :no:
you can get a massive tub for £2/3 or something like that in woolies
plus we don't have a wilkos here
