What do you miss most about Woolworths?

None of this online crap either, I mean the proper shop/store.

blu-tac!? LOL

I just loved how it covered everything... but I most went in there for toys and pic'n'mix. I remember when I was like 8 I thought it would be a good idea to buy a bunch of it, and those tiny coke cans, and sell them in my street. It didn't work out :(

Trust me, trying to find it now is a right pain, unless you go to WHSmith where they charge like £4 for the stuff. :bored:


I used to love those tiny coke cans. It's like Superdrug and such do those minature cosmetics like Lynx, Palmers Cocoa Butter, Mouthwash...:love:

Kerry 25-03-2011 02:23 AM

I used to buy alsorts from there. Not sure I can pick one.

Shaun 25-03-2011 02:24 AM

Wilkinsons does a lot of what Woolworths used to do - only with less entertainment, more home furnishings + toiletries. It's more useful I guess now that we have an HMV but still :(

Josy 25-03-2011 02:24 AM

I bought my first ever set of pots out of there for my first house :sad:

Our HMV closed down this week out of the blue. Exeter is such a failing city. :bawling:

Kerry 25-03-2011 02:26 AM

Josy 25-03-2011 02:26 AM

Shaun 25-03-2011 02:26 AM

pick'n'mix.

Beastie 25-03-2011 10:20 AM

I used to get some Xmas presents from there. Like a paint your own money box and stuff like that. It was like a "quality" Aladdins Cave. And now it's gone :( It's not the same online.

WOOLIES NEEDS TO COME BACK.

It was the shop I went into the most after Primark and HMV...

Wahhhhhhhh! :bawling:

Livia 25-03-2011 10:26 AM

Crimson Dynamo 25-03-2011 11:27 AM

Nothing. It was a **** hole.

All is not bad then! :)

I miss looking at the CD's and DVD's section of the store, they always had a good sellection and I enjoyed looking at them. I got my first single from Wollies!

Stacey. 25-03-2011 05:56 PM

Music. Cus even though there's HMV, it doesn't always have everything in or whatever, there was more stuff in Woolworths. And pic n' mix too, but they do that in WHSmiths anyway :amazed:

Smithy 25-03-2011 05:59 PM
