It would seem strange -- Accrington without Woolworths on Broadway!

That doesnt bother me, it was rubbish anyway, its only if New Look & Dorothy Perkins pull of Accy that i'll be gutted!!!

Well I can't see dress shops surviving when all the women wear jeans and baggy jumpers.

Absolutely no chance of that happening and even more chance of them upping and going too!

If any Woolies employees want a bit of friendly advice on what they are entitled to they can pm me ( been there twice myself) or contact the Citizen's Advice Bureau ...... don't believe anything you are told at branch level! Mention "protective award" and watch the gits start squirming !

I think that it is well sad. The hairdresser at the top of Ossy restyled my hair whilst I was there in October which resulted in finding a set of hair straighteners. Where did I find them? Woolies, 40 quid reduced to twenty and as I'd won a tenner on the lottery............a tenner.

There will never be another shop like Woolworths. A good hairdresser though.
