My son has never heard of Woolworths.
Now that is just sad. I suppose one of the reasons Woollies came to mind, was that I recently had to go to a meeting. I usually wear stockings to this kind of thing, and I used to get all of my stockings at Woolworths.
You can still find stockings...I got some the other day at Target. But it's not the same. Woolworths had what felt like thousands of kinds of stockings. I mean they catered to the little old ladies (raises hand) who still wore stockings rather than pantyhose, and just as we are dying out, so died out Woolworths.
Stockings are brilliant btw, I'm still shaking my head as to why they fell out of fashion. I can understand it if you're wearing a miniskirt, then it doesn't actually make sense not to wear pantyhose. But the thing is this. With stockings, if you get a run in one leg, you don't have to throw out the other leg. As long as you keep buying the same kind of stocking, you can just switch them out--and that is what I've been doing for the past twenty years--which is why I never needed to buy stockings until now, long after the demise of Woollies.
Oh well.
