	Woolworths to me always brings to mind the big red scales at the front of the shop. I suppose every woolies had a set ? If we got lost in there as kiddies we had to go to the scales for Mum to find us.

	sad ! I bought my first chocolate buttons in Woolies as a child, when they came loose in little white paper bags....my mum bought things in there for her mum when she was a kid.... I know they made a huge mistake a number of years back when they tried to 'get clever' and redesigned a lot of their shops.... made them very 'shopper unfriendly' . It will be a huge blow to the town in Wales I have just moved from, Woolworths was really the only shop there where you could go for everything (no major shops at all) ... and very busy all year but especially in the tourist season.
