Where are we going to get our pick’n'mix? Where will we go to fill up our bags with unnecessary plastic objects? Where can I find to make sure I can still avoid toys’r'us? Bugger.

Damn, you beat me to it!
At Woolworths I bought
1. My first ever Jam single (Eton Rifles)
2. My first ever copy of ‘Pet Sounds’ (cassette)
3. Lots of remaindered records from the 49p box
And do you remember those epic all-singing, all-dancing, whole ad break-spanning ‘That’s the wonder of Woolworths’ Christmas ads? Marvellous.

I bought some pick ‘n’ mix from my local Woolies just last Monday. It’s sad to think that not even that munificent gesture was enough to save this once proud high street institution.
Cola bottle, anyone?

I had my first root beer float, my first penny candy, and my first “training” bra at Woolworths. Sniff, sniff… not to mention the endless hours spent reading magazines and wondering when I’d be allowed to dress like all those cool kids in the music magazines. I don’t remember ours having records tho, did they here in the states? Or perhaps I was a clueless young girl, that’s not an unlikely story.

Nanci says you could buy records. Unless that was a Texas thing, or Austin being precocious about SXSW days to come.

This is a wonderful, wonderful record. Ping!
