Are Woolworth's 'Wellworth' it?

[Gavin Scott]

Is that what I remember? Hmm.

Definately part of Woolworth, it seems.

Yeah, seems most of which were sold to Asda once they became shitty.

[Gavin Scott]

It did in fact become an Asda.

Still is.

Just realised that I've become that old person who remembers long gone supermarkets, such as Templeton's and the Pick n' Save.

Fucking ouch.

[Sput]

Is that at Gateway levels of oldness or a different league altogether?

There is a shopping centre near me (now called Ards Shopping Centre) that everyone used to call Woolco. But I don't remember there being a Woolco store in it. Had the biggest Primark for miles around though.

I stomp on your latter-day remembrances.

Or I will when I can get out of this chair.

the WHS in Kelso is a former templetons, it still has the partly intact 60s cafe upstairs which is used to store fixtures and fittings.

I remeber Presto. Does that make me old?

I remember Gateway... kept getting it confused with Safeway, sadly both long departed.

Hopefully not Fine Fare old, that's a bit much.

Don't think so, they didn't stop until a decade ago... Ok, maybe then.

[Pete]

Gateway was one of Somerfield's old names was it not?

[Nini]

Yeah, it's an odd chain of events always involving Safeway at some point of major transition.
