Woolworths – What is it good for?

I would like to put my tuppence in.
Here’s a story about about them stopping selling CD singles.
This doesn’t stop them selling:
-Pick and Mix
-Indoor TV Aerials
-Paddling Pools
–£2 book on Violent Crime (which i purchased, a blog post will follow on this!)
-Sandwiches
-Bicycles
-Computer Games
-Mobile Phones
-Cafe food

CD singles are the least of the company’s problems. In an age of specialisation Woolworths seems to be one big discount bin of everything and nothing, a hardware store trapped in a confectioner’s. It is the True Crime of the high street: horribly cheap; garish; classless; morbidly fascinating but not something you’d admit to liking.
