Woolworths in Kings Heath, I am sorry...truly
18 months old, in pushchair with Mommy.
She got me home to discover her little darling had brought a huge screw driver with her - under her blanket. Sorry Woolies.

8 years old - keen marble player - off to Woolies to top up supplies, home made marble bag in hand (thanks Mom). Moments later a burst bag on the marble shelf I am approaching, kind hearted staff member spotted me with my marble bag and said 'O you poor thing, here let me help you pick them all up.' Then promptly filled my marble bag to the brim. Thank you lady. Sorry Woolies. Really.

Mothers Day presents age 13 with mates. I choose a box of chocs and some bath cubes (remember them?) for my marble bag making Mom (RIP Mom - miss you) and head back to my mates, ready to go? Yup off we go. Heavy hands on our shoulders and off we drag to the Managers office.?? what the buggery bollox is going on - Young Siouxfan. Store detectives- turn your bags and pockets out....

I sigh and happily turn it all out, bit of string, broken pen, bus pass, picture of The Banshees snipped out of NME...
Mates - twenty lipsticks, 12 eye shadow pallets, 16 lip liners and 4 eye pencils and a blusher.....WTF?!
Ironically, they never told me the plan as apparently I look so beautifully innocent. O great, thanks for that.

Sorry Woolies.

Ever seen Don Letts' 'Punk Rock movie'?

You get the original Banshees when they were proper punk rock. Ace.
