wailing and gnashing of teeth

You would have thought a long time friend had passed away...in some ways, I guess it did. In the UK anyway, people think with the recent "passing" of Woolworth's UK they have lost an institution. No buyer was found for the chain, so it will fade away through liquidation.



Now, when was the last time YOU were in a Woolworth's in the US, let alone be able to find one? So you say, "no big deal". But what if it was Target?

OK, now you feel a little of the UK shopper's pain....
