Woolworth's still exists in Australia? Here (Canada) it
became known as Woolco many years ago, and then about 5 years
ago was taken over by the durned WalMart.

Sure is getting to be a confusing world for an old guy.
I remember when it was the Tandy Leather Company; a mail
order house in Chicago.

It also exists in New Zealand BUT, it's a totally different company. No
connection whatsoever, just the same name. Down there it's really very like
Safeway here - runs a lot of big supermarkets all over both countries and is
spreading into other areas.
