I will try and not make another one of those stupid fucking 'Christmas Threads' but I think I should bring this up.
Its a tragic loss that Woolies is closing (to non Uk'ers,) Woolworths is a high street store with thousands of branches across the UK employing 30,000 people. Its 99 years old but is slowly going up shit creek. Its going bust, the administrators were brought in and have failed to find a buyer. Last week they started a massive sale 'UPTO 50% OFF' the signs say, yeah but thats if you want bollocks like candle stick holders or something. Everything else is 10-20%
Last night the news was cast that Woolies is now having a closing down sale. I think its a tragic loss, firstly the history of the company will be gone forever, they are only 3 years older than my company, secondly all those poor barstards working their socks off knowing come New Year they are out on their arses.
Ive just been down to raid the shelves of toys for Jnr 27 for crimbo and it was fucking mental. I grabbed as much 'Bratz', 'High School Musical' and 'Barbie Dolls' as I could, along with 808 & Heartbreaks (as recommended by MEKanye west himself) and got in the 20min queue.
Now what made me annoyed yet laugh was the dirty fucking asains who were trying to push in where the aisles met at a cross junction. 'Oi, you (poke in the back) the queue starts behind me, get to the back of it', they then pretend they don't know what English is, 'Go on, fuck off cheeky twat'. This made me into a 1min hero until the next one came along, old grannies and pikeys would say 'Good on you for telling them, I hate that blah de blah'. Now that bit made me ratty, I'll tell you what made me laugh, you look in the Ninja Womens baskets and what have they got for Christmas..................woh, hold on, they don't even celebrate it. What the fuck are they doing in the hustle and bustle of xmas shopping queueing for 20 mins?? They got a 15" non stick frying pan in their fucking baskets. Are they for fucking real or what? £5.99 becomes £4.79. Is it fucking worth it, just to fry some fucking banana's or bombay potato up, after all it won't be a Sirloin that Iqubal gets for tea is it?
Now please don't think I am a racist for one single second here I am not. I just didnt like the way they try and push in pleading igronance, and the stupidity to get caught up in xmas shopping all for £1.19 discount, on a fucking frying pan of all things.
So back to the serious side of it. I think Woolies are up shit creek because of Music and DVD's. Its not their fault that creedy cunt music bosses kept the price so high before Napster, Limewire and other download stuff came out but thats when it started. I used to go in Wollies every Thurs on pay day and hand over £13.99 for Rod Stewarts latest hits, well not him but were talking 15 years ago now. Greedy music bosses should of dropped the price, I wouldnt of minded too much if Rod himself was getting a fair cut of the cake but we all know it lines the pockets of suit wearing music exec's.
So Woolies has gone, who's next and why?
M&S approx 100 years old
Sainsburys approx 100 years old
I hope its not them two
Condolences go out to any Woolies staff here.
