UK Woolworths = US's Walmart
For the record, I prefer Walmart over Target. However, I'm not down at Walmart every weekend like many Americans.
Is there a US equivalent of Boots the Chemist? I can't think of a chain I know of.]
Can't help popping into walmart all the time I have a small one (half everything/half food) 15 minutes WALK from my house - ideal for my visitors - they can't understand the fact that people don't walk to the shops in Texas - Dad has to have his daily fix when he's over - He and Mum walk to Walmart every morning when they are visiting. They come back loaded with goodies like iced cinnamon rolls etc. They can't understand why they put so much weight on after their visit

Speaking of iced cinnamon rolls, there's a Cinnabon's right down the road from where I live. They specialize in cinnamon rolls, fresh from the oven, with freshly made icing. I usally get a coupla of extra containers of icing, along with my box of cinnamon rolls.
BTW, do your parents do the same thing over in the UK, or do they wait until they get over here before pigging out?
