The Credit CrunchDid you score a bargain in Woolworths?
Meet someone nice in the queue to withdraw your 10p from Northern Rock?
Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?
How has the credit crunch affected you?

Am I the only person who noticed thatthe Pic'n'mix counters were not actually Woolworths but a third party called Candy King?
They also do the Pic'n'Mix for Wilkinsons for 10p less than it was in Woolies.

They are indeed!On my local store's penultimate day, I popped in to pick through the wreckage and see if anything was left. On a table by the tills, all the Pic-n-Mix had been bagged up for sale as individual Candy King bags. Each bag contained just one type of sweet - Some bags were boiled sweets, some were midget gems - Thereby removing the 'Mix' element from the experience. In addition, all the good stuff had gone (no pink shrimps or fizzy fish), drastically reducing the 'Pic' aspect.
So essentially what they had left was a big table of 'n' :(
