Was out jogging in Morden Hall Park on Sunday and briefly jogged on the road near Morden's former Woolies, now branded "Timmy WorthIt!" (by cunningly putting a canvas logo over the old Woolies fascia.) Would the owners of Timmy WorthIt! be interested in joining in with a new franchised "back from the dead" Woolies operation?
