Does anyone know of any in East London area that are still open - as we managed to get some clothes last week but thought that all were closing on the 2nd and wanted to get some more as daughter has just gone up another size in uniform? Also, aswell as some being open an extra day others closed earlier than advertised.

Why? They'd only go in the skips! No-one else wanted them, and its money in the till! They place wont be open tomorrow, its not like a normal offer where some Oik buys them all to sell on Ebay leaving none for those who really want it, we couldn't have got it if we wanted to so good on OP! :T

No it isn't. I had less than half of the 60 or 70 still on the shelves.

It was 16:50 and the store was pulling down the shutters at 17:00.
Workmen were amongst the customers removing shelves as they became empty - Staff were constantly consolidating shelves.

Anything not through the till by 17:00 was going in a skip.

There were probably 20 shoppers in the store at the time and I came out with just these which I "carefully selected".
Everyone else was grabbing armfuls of anything and everything left on the shelves and filling at least a couple of baskets each.
Most of them had dozens of copies of Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah (there were hundreds of them)
If anything I was the ONLY one there that wasn't part of the frenzy !

Mandles

Mine closed when it was supposed to(today).Grabbed 10 plimsolls for £1 and 30 kids t-shirts(packets of tshirts in 3's) for £1 total and posters were 10p each. xbox 360 game £15 still. 20p for cds and dvds that had no cases so grabbed them too.
Sad to see woolies go but happy with my bargains!

stmidwife

My local has no stock left to warrant going in tomorrow. Today I got a couple of Bratz sets for £5 each, will make a good couple of gifts throughout the year.

Good luck to all Woolies staff. x
