It belongs in a museum

I was listening to "Sonic the Comic the Podcast" recently and they were reminiscing about Woolies and I was trying to remember what they sold. But all I could think of was ZX Spectrum tapes and pick & mix. I guess... drills...?

CD singles! A whole wall of them!

Ah, now you're reminding me of the Woolies quandary back in the day. Buy pick and mix or save up for a 1.99 Mastertronic Speccy game. Which were, with one or two exceptions, invariably utter shit. Should have gone for the sugar fix.

Well, Finders Keepers and Kickstart 2 were okay. But the rest, not so much.

Tat, lots and lots of tat

A relic of the ancient world

An elegant weapon, for a more civilised age.

Christmas decorations and cheap gifts and Halloween crap are all I can remember ever buying in there.

That thing looks like it would be more use hammering in nails!

Corded drills are like Henry hoover, ol' reliable

That brings back memories! Got my first ever Yo-yo from woollies! Used to be a weekend visit to that place for me. I think they still sell online don't they? 🤔

I had no idea they did power tools!

I got banned for life from Woolies in 1996 for stealing a Kinder Bueno. I'd never been so mortified in all my life and I always had the absolute terror whenever my maw would take me in when we went in to town after that.

We used to steal batteries and stuff from there. I was caught (the only one out of a group of 4 .. doh!) and suspended from school for two weeks.
