Remember Woolworths? : British Nostalgia

Remember Woolworths?

Woolies was the BEST! All the pick 'n' mix sweets you could ever want, and all those random toys you begged your mum for. Anyone else remember the smell of the food aisle? It was like a mix of chocolate and something else I can't quite place... Proper miss it!

Man, Woolies was a big deal in my childhood. Used to hatethe queues, but love the random finds. Sometimes wonder if those tiny plastic dinosaurs I got are worth anything now! LOL

I remember that smell! It was part nostalgia, part... what was it? Maybe a mix of melted chocolate and cardboard? 😆

Yes! Toys galore! My favorite were those little Matchbox cars and the random toy sets from TV shows. I'd beg for them every weekend. Good job, mum.

My mum worked there in the '90s! It was like our second home. 😂Spent so many Saturdays just running around the aisles, and eating way too much pick 'n' mix. 😋

Lol remember how you'd go in for one thing and come out with 5 bags of useless stuff? Good times!

Woolworths was a massive part of British shopping history! Founded in 1909 by F.W. Woolworth. They were famous for cheap goods and were literally in every high street till their sad decline in 2009. Truely an end of an era. 😢
