I think the German Woolworth became independent from the rest of the Woolworth brand right around the time things got shit for Woolworth and they all closed, so they still exist. I think they still exist in some other countries, but not in the UK anymore at all. I dunno if it's true but I remember my grandad saying that Woolworth invented Christmas ornaments. So while they're gone, they definitely made Christmas look more festive... so they'll always have that (unless it's not true, in which case... wtf why did my grandad lie to me). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least the tree is a German tradition that predates Woolworth. Same ie true for the tree ornaments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 5 of us would stand on it holding the bars while 2 people spun it as fast as they could until someone came flying off.. and it was always on to concrete as well not that soft play mat stuff they have these days.. damage to some part of the body was par for the course in a kids playground when we were kids.. Like the See Saw, each of you trying to flip the other one out of their seat when they hit the top.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
