And you must be that one stray lamb that won't go with the flock. Even to Woolies! Shearing may be in order.

OK I put my hands up...I nicked a plastic kangaroo keyring...

It was the only thing worth taking 40 years ago, and having had a butchers around in the wonder that is Woolies yesterday, I think I made the right choice...

The bottom has fallen out of the pickn'mix bag...er...market...

It's a shame tho' isn't it?

It was a right of passage for all us forty-somethings to regale each other with stories re sweet mis-appropriation from Woolies. I mean just about everyone I know has nicked something from Woolies. Excluding me and your goodself of course. more…

Absolutely right Chris', apparently it was asking overmuch of its plodding senior management to come up with a semblance of inspirational marketing strategy for re-inventing the ailing brand.

I feel it's a bit of an indictment on the absence of creative flair within Woolies management, TAGK - it wouldn't take much imagination to re-invent the brand & launch an aggressive marketing campaign to make it appealing to shoppers once again - after all they have the very best high street locations up n' down the land.

Sadly, it more…

That sheep looks very excited at the prospect of saving all that dosh.

But what's she gonna do with it?

In theory Woolies was a great general store. Notice I said in theory. But it needed an inspirational kick up the sweet aisle to keep trade flourishing. I loved the place but it was looking sad and very tired.....the M more…

There is one in Keighley as Mira says, it was downsized some years back from one of the largest stores in town to one of the smaller ones, well thats what they said, it still managed to take up three shops worth of space.

A very passionate appeal! I wouldn't expect such passion from a cynic like you, but there you go - when you've had enough even your blood knows how to reach the boiling point. It's what this nation needs - a spirit of "we-mean-it" rebellion even if it means a little inconvenience of mixing with the crowd of likeminded protesters. more…

Marvellous piece MSM, the trouble in this country is apathy, we say to ourselves, "Whatever we do, nothing will change" and we believe it and so we do nothing, young people leave school with IQ levels of moron+1 or minus 1 in some cases so what on earth does the future hold, I despair. more…

Yes pry', MPs motives are usually about self-preservation and virtually never about the genuine concerns or interests of those who voted them in.
