You should have known when Woolworths and MFI and Zavvi all went down in the same week. If you're of a certain age, you probably have nostalgic memories of Woolworths. It probably means a lot to you. You used to go into Woolworths on Saturday mornings with your pocket money and they'd have the singles, the 7" singles they used to have in the charts, you remember, on the vinyl, the old vinyl they used to have in the 70s. All the proper bands from then, when we were kids, yeah? The Rubettes and Mud and Chicory Tip. Yeah. Not like the bands they have now, stupid, modern bands all made out of wire and electricity. The proper old bands. You'd buy the singles, wouldn't you? The old singles they used to have in the old days. The proper ones. Very nostalgic feelings towards Woolworths. The pick 'n' mix. Remember the pick 'n' mix in Woolworths? All the sweets individually wrapped. Proper, old-fashioned sweets, yeah? Not like the sweets they have now, all with knives in them and AIDS. Yeah, proper, old-fashioned sweets they used to have. Very nostalgic feelings I have for Woolworths. You used to go in, Saturday mornings, with your pocket money, and you'd get the old 7" singles they had and the pick 'n' mix and, um... There must have been something else they sold. That was it, wasnt it? singles, pick 'n' mix. Its hardly surprising they went under.
