Wollies went out of business here in the US in the 1980's (where it was started, by the way, as F. W. Woolworth Company by Frank Winfield Woolworth in 1878 in Utica New York, USA)It is now a sporting goods store here in the US called Foot Locker. I guess that Wal-Mart has run them out of business over-seas now.
Woolworths? Now theres a name I haven't heard in a while, in NZ, they went bust 3-4 years ago... now they're working with Countdown, or Foodtown, can't remember anyway. One thing that I don't get, if you are going to go broke, why do you still print your advertisments in colour (I mean the ones in the papers, not the billboards etc...)
source of great amusement was to set the mousetraps on the top of the heap and wait for someone to mindlessly run their hand over them - who can resist doing that to heaps of stuff?
