    Woolworth’s and C&A still alive and kicking in Germany. If that’s a good or bad thing is a matter of conjecture.

    It’s a fashion thing. I could wax lyrical about their failed entry in to the Brazilian market, but, while it was a close shave for them, they got caught by the short and curlies. I gather the story is being looked at in Hollywood.

    When I lived in Liverpool there was a hardware shop on Lark lane. The old bloke in there we called ‘cat litter Ken’ and he had 2 jokes. Every week we’d ask him to deliver a big bag of cat litter, and every week he’d say ‘If you’re not in i’ll pour it through the letter box. The other one was ‘What do you think this is- an ale house? whenever you wanted to buy nails.
    Bet that’s gone now.
    I’m not even sure his name was Ken but I do like a bit of alliteration.

    On a similar note: Avalanche Records, although that might just have been an Edinburgh institution?

    Phones4U got bought up by a private equity firm for too much money and they tore the arse out of it trying to recoup it, I think it was said at the time that the liquidation was more about asset stripping than a failed business. Most of the shops got sold to Vodafone and EE who were looking to have their own stores and some went to other brands.

    I though ‘Stolen from Ivor’ was completely gone but apparently one branch is still plugging away valiantly.

    Goldberg’s, although that may be just Edinburgh too.

    Although a quick wiki tells me they had 100+ outlets.

    I miss Beatties.

    Used to love it in there when I was young but had no cash and now I’m old with cash they are gone. 🙁

    Never had the same nostalgia for Model Zone and they’ve ****ed off too.
