It’s now
that I really miss Woolworths. It was a kind of one-stop shop for Christmas
shopping – cards, wrapping paper, decorations, toys, chocolates, kids clothes
etc. I know that you can get them all under one roof at supermarkets, but the
choice of toys is inferior, and I just miss the old favourite.

| Don't think results of cake maker would have been this lavish |
This time
of year I find myself remembering the Christmas of my childhood when I dearly
wanted an ‘In-A-Minute Cake Maker’. I marvelled at the TV ads that showed
preparing the ingredients, then popping them into the ‘magic oven’, resulting in
a tasty looking chocolate cake. Sadly, I never did get one – one of life’s
disappointments.
Why do
shops put up silly little signs saying things such as “I’m only £3” or “Try
me”. Products are objects, not living things, and I’m not three (you have to
multiply that figure a considerable amount of times to get my age), so
credit us shoppers with some sense.
