In the old days of Yellow Pages, Woolworths was listed under the "grocers" category.

Didn't there used to be a little 'Woolies' by what is now the Guildhall entrance that just did groceries? Or did I dream that?

I thought that was where it was before it moved up to the 'new store'..?

When the legislation covering Sunday opening hours was being messed around with a long time ago, there was a furniture shop which tried to get round them by selling carrots at astronomical prices on Sundays and throwing in a free item of furniture with each purchase. Didn't get away with it for very long.

They opened the 'new store' in 1962, apparently, but kept the old Market Square store going until 1972, as well, as seen here.

I seem to remember the 'new' one being the normal Woolies and the old one just doing food.

William Morris famously said “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful” and that reminds me that Market Square has nothing really now, neither useful bus stops and lavatories nor beautiful flowerbeds.

Leek & potato soup & a roll

Sainsburys reduced price Aberdeen Angus beef burgers, his were meant to be mixed with cheese, mine not. Reckoned he couldn't taste any cheese. Slapped between two well buttered bread rolls, with a very generous dollop of Daddies Brown Sauce.
Tomorrow nights tea will be Onion & Garlic Spaghetti Bolognese with a very large spoonful of garlic puree.

For the pedants amongst us ---

Les hamburgers de bœuf Aberdeen Angus à prix réduit de Sainsburys, les siens étaient censés être mélangés avec du fromage, pas les miens. Je pensais qu'il ne goûtait aucun fromage. Giflé entre deux petits pains bien beurrés, avec une très généreuse cuillerée de sauce brune Daddies.

Le thé de demain soir sera composé de spaghettis bolognaise à l'oignon et à l'ail avec une très grosse cuillerée de purée d'ail.

A-t-il remarqué qu'il n'y avait pas de fromage ? Je pense que je le remarquerais s'il n'y en avait pas... ne prenez pas de soupe aux pommes de terre et au fromage de Covent Garden, c'était aussi liquide que n'importe quoi... de la soupe aux légumes Heinz pour moi le soir suivant...
