...ended today as all the branches closed for the last time; another victim of the changing commercial landscape.
I remember the old wooden counters as a child, and I also worked for Woolies years ago. It is a little sad to see the brand dissappear from the high street. Most of thier business has been drifting to Tesco or ASDA no doubt.
I wonder who else will go under in the new year?

The concealed ones they have in the supermarkets now aren't half as interesting.
