Woolworths

No Comments

I am posting today, as it was Woolworth’s last day countrywide. Some stores close Saturday with the rest closing today. I am not ashamed to admit it…I think I am going to miss Woolies!

Admittedly, you can buy everything they sell (and more) in Tesco or online due to the fact they didn’t have a unique selling point. And yes…the adverts were one of the most annoying adverts I have seen, but yes, I will miss them!

Ah, the Irony!
I just decided to visit the Woolworth’s website, and the message is shown below. I found it slightly Ironic

Our site is currently undergoing essential maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Please check back later.

Bognor Store
I was wandering through Bognor high street on Saturday, and saw the following sign in Woolworth’s. It shows, how pissed off some of the staff really are! (It is not a real sign, but written on the back of a notice!)

Coming Soon!

Hollands leading Pole, Lap and Exotic Dancing venue.

Wanted Dancers (Full training given)
Phone 01243 782509 (Rob) for application pack

The Future
Where will this recession crisis leave our high street. It is no doubt that other chains will go into administration, and I can see the following companies having trouble in 2009.

  • Argos
  • B&Q
  • Boots
  • Borders
  • British Home Stores
  • Burtons
  • Clinton Cards
  • Currys, Dixons, Comet and PC World
  • Debenhams
  • DFS
  • HMV
  • Homebase
  • Jessops
  • JJB Sports
  • Marks and Spencer
  • Millets
  • Sainsburys
  • The Works
  • Thorntons
  • Waterstones
  • WHSmith

This is based purely on prediction without me looking at sales statistics etc.

In the 1400′s a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have “the rule of thumb”

-

“Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled “Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden”…and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

“The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

“Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.

“Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

“Coca-Cola was originally green.

“It is impossible to lick your elbow.

“The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour:
61,000.

“Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

“The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer

“Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king in history:
Spades – King David
Hearts – Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander, the Great
Diamonds – Julius Caesar

“111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

“If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

“Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter “A”?
A. One thousand

“Q. What do bullet-proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?
A. All invented by women.

“Q. What is the only food that doesn’t spoil?
A. Honey

“In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase……… “goodnight, sleep tight.”

“It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

“In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts… So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them “Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down.” It’s where we get the phrase “mind your P’s and Q’s”

“Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. “Wet your whistle” is the phrase inspired by this practice.

“I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg.
