A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 How sweet are you? That's a lovely thought! BTW - what does your username mean? All I know is 'pannard a dare' (sorry about the spelling - I can't spell Welsh) which means 'cup of tea' apparently! I normally greet my Welsh friends far too enthusiastically with a 'Bora dar! Pannad a dare!' Anna x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Iar (hen) fach (little) goch (red) so my username is simply little red hen. I'm well impressed with the welsh, now you can impress your friends with "blwyddyn newydd dda" (happy new year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Walked past Bury St Edmunds branch of Woolies this afternoon. Huge empty space and all the staff were sitting round a table at the back of the shop. Looked very sad indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackgold Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Went into Stockport branch this morning. couldnt see any real bargains though. Some things were half price but thats still £6 for a cd.... They were all rubbish ones as well. My friend bought some cups and plates which were only a couple of quid..... They were selling the desks from the offices but they were old and scratched and priced at £60..... I didnt buy anything.... BTW Woolworths call their shelving units gondalas no idea why.....

Seagazer Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The last time I went into my local branch I said to the young chap serving me that my first job had been in Woolies, he turned round and said sadly'its my first job too'. Felt so sorry for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 New Look call their rails gondolas. I wonder if it's a brand or system name? I think it's the name for any floor standing double sided shop fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWhite Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The company I work for had to make hundreds of people redundant on Christmas Eve because of the Woolworths collapse (we are one of their suppliers) Kinda takes the shine off the bargains in store I felt terrible for those families.
