A "pound shop"? That must be like our "dollar stores". That means that you guys are the victims of your currency. We buy crap for a dollar and you guys have to pay a pound for it! That doesn't sound like a good deal.

Re: Woolworth's
Awww I dont want it to close, bespite the trouble I have getting round it with my pram I still get quite a bit of stuff there for the boys, toys, the odd bit of clothing etc

Will be sad to see it go, that will only leave argos for toys then

Re: Woolworth's
I venture in now & again but rarely buy 'owt.Always seems to be mobbed at the checkouts when i go in.Although the checkout situation is just as bad i'd sooner mooch round Wilkos.Just for the ambience of the place

Nope, that was bottom of St James Street. Still a few Redmans around...think there's a stall on Bury market.
