Weep for Woolies 09:05am on 27 Nov 2008 Robert - sometimes you write some sense, but other times you mix emotion with commercial reality. You don’t weep for the banks but you do for a shop that could never compete in the free market given no discernible retail identity or hook – what did Woolies do?

I’m sad to see them go, but I’m also to blame – I haven’t been there for years instead I preferred to buy light bulbs and cd’s in Tescos while doing my weekly shop. Come clean and tell me when you last went shopping there.

Now I go to Morrisons shopping as Tescos appears to me to be the giant and is taking advantage. I’m more careful about what I shop for and I also want to give more retailers a chance. It was too late for Woolies and perhaps I should have spread my pound around more on the high street – perhaps we all should. But don’t pretend to feel sorry.
