Fare Thee Well, Woolies…
I had thought, on my way home tonight, to call in at the Brixton branch of Woolworths since the chances are I may ne’er set foot in one again, otherwise. It has held many a fond memory for me (well, fond-ish) since it is possibly the only Woolworths store in London – nay possibly even the whole country – which I could actually say is any good.
I mean… for comparison you should have seen the Clapham one. My God it was shite!
But alas my visit was not to be. As I neared the threshold I saw with a slight tug in my heart that the queue for the tills looped back and forth twice and vanished in the back of the store.
My fellow man’s appetite for cheap tat really does surprise me sometimes.

Got something to say?
I think you should just go in and ask them to put on “Always on my mind” Pet Shop Boys for preference and see how many of the penitent Woolworth shoppers collapse into sobs.
