That Was the Wonder of Woolies

Woolies last day of trading in the UK. I visited the Surbiton branch two hours before closure.

Interesting and painful document.

Nicely documented Ray... it makes me feel so sad that such a well known name has folded... and I fear there will be quite a few more before the end of this year...
