00:00Both of us worked in Dan Evans in Barrie, which was a big department store.
00:05And it's a big loss to town.
00:08Our town is just nothing now.
00:11Wilco's closing, the banks are closing.
00:15It's just quite sad that everybody now is buying online.
00:20Woolworths.
00:22I started with my little Tastic job in Woolworths in town.
00:27And then, when I was older, with family,
00:31I worked in Woolworths in Albany Road for seven years.
00:36We also worked in Cardiff in the house department store.
00:39That closed a year ago.
00:41So we jinxed.
00:42Yes, we jinxed.
00:44So that was a year ago.
00:46And that was gone for 178 years, that went for.
00:50And we stayed to the last day, didn't we?
00:52We did.
00:54It's part of our lives, really.
00:59And you miss them.
