If all us people of a certain age hadn't nicked stuff from Woolies they might still be in business

Because they were stupidIf they didn't want us to steal it why did they call it pick n mix ?
Brilliant.To my great shame my dad gave me his wallet for safe keeping as his hands were full of shopping. He made me promise to guard it with my life, which I duly did. It had £14 inside which at the time was a lot of money, mostly in old £1 notes.
Of course I dropped it, I know shameful, such carelessness but imagine the relief I felt when on retracing my steps to see the wallet on the ground close to where I must have lost it, my heart leapt with joy, just as it did when Dickov scored that goal, only to discover it was empty. A small boy left in despair, I didn't dare go home for fear of what my dad might do to me. I hope the rag twunt who found it and took the money got what he deserves...……..

Never nicked anything from Woolies, their stuff was shite, preferred Shopping Giant. At some point must have felt bad about taking stuff into the bogs and putting it on underneath own clothing and shifted to changing the price stickers to a nominal sum. Fuck knows the amount of Gola trainers I got for £1.29.
One day When the fair came to town my mate and I had 40p between us. We were kids and desperately wanted more to go on the rides etc. I knocked on an local old lady’s house and pretended to be the milk mans helper doing the collections that Friday tea time. I told her her bill was £4.60 for her milk and to my surprise she agreed and gave me a £5 note. I gave her the 40p change. Worked a charm. We now had £2.50 each. Needless to say when the inevitable happened and the milkman went to collect at the address and after a bit of investigation, me and my pal were reprimanded especially off my dad and I was grounded for three months. It still fills me with guilt 30 years on.
You were robbed. Gola for £1.29? Must have saw you coming.
