Woolworths

I took a visit to Woolworths today, possibly for the last time.  I didn’t buy anything, I left after 3 minutes, stressed by the number of shoppers all trying to get their hands on a bargain.

The cue for the tills was long. Very long. Stretching all the way round the store.  I felt a little sorry for all the staff, working like slaves only to lose their jobs. Then it struck me.

Could it be a conspiracy? A brilliant marketing ploy by Woolworths?  Announce you are having a massive closing down sale, cut all your slightly higher than average prices down, sell lots of goods.  Seems like a pretty good plan to me.

Still didn’t convince me to start my Christmas shopping though.

Starting Afresh

I’ve decided to start afresh with this blog.  For various reasons.

Mainly, the last blog was 2 and a half years old (which in the world of David Lewis is quite a long time).  Things have changed quite a bit in the last 2 and a half years and quite frankly some of those really old posts make me cringe.  I have kept those old posts just in case I ever decide to write memoirs in years to come.  I’ll maybe go through them one day and decide which ones the world can see again, but for now they are hidden.

I’ve also moved the blog over to wordpress.com, it’s a bit like Flickr, but for blogs instead of photos. Why?  Well like Flickr, I could have put all my photos on my own website, but then no one would ever have found them.  Stick them on Flickr and suddenly people find them.  It’s the same with blog postings, I hope.

I’m going to try and do something useful with davidrlewis.com. Possibly a website which promotes me as a radio presenter, TV production graduate and freelance grass cutting. That is work in progress.

And maybe I’ll blog a little more than I used to. I’ve promised that before, and it is yet to happen.
