    Don't be foolish - we do NOT live in a democracy. Less than 23% of the adult population voted for Tony Blair's government, and NONE of the adult population voted for Gordon Brown's.
    .

    You don't vote for the Prime Minister. You vote for your local MP, who will choose a leader for their party. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand.

    If less than 23% voted, then this is also a sign of democracy - people exercising their democratic right NOT to vote.
  • So this was a rubbish sale, has it actually closed or will there be further reductions?
  • NO REFUNDS/RETURNS!!

    BEWARE YOU CANNOT RETURN ANY GOODS EVEN WITH A RECEIPT!! :mad:

    NOT GOOD!

    Apparently it is no longer a Woolworths, it is owned by the administrators! Beware!

Wouldn't let me see a manager or anything, absolute nightmare! Anyone got the number for customer services? :money: I'm gna complain about their rudeness! :rotfl:

  • Very little left in my small local store, although I did pick up 2 Story Reader packs for my kids for xmas, reduced from £9.99 to 40p.

    There was a sad and sorry atmosphere, such a shame.
