Wooly and Worth
Between 2004 and 2008, Woolworths adverts featured their own mascots, 'Wooly' the sheep and 'Worth' the sheepdog. They appeared in many adverts, including Woolworths WorthIt! adverts. In 2009, they were due to reappear in a half hour comedy special Wooly And Worth's Christmas Message, in which they reveal that they have been homeless since the closure of Woolworths. Scenes were filmed of the pair in a Job Centre and trying to secure and advertising contract with a number of other stores. The film, written and directed by radio presenter and writer Steve Oliver has been held up due to legal complications. As Mr Oliver says "It isn't really Christmas without Woolworths".

Famous quotes containing the word worth:
“You may rely on it that you have the best of me in my books, and that I am not worth seeing personally, the stuttering, blundering clod-hopper that I am. Even poetry, you know, is in one sense an infinite brag and exaggeration. Not that I do not stand on all that I have written,—but what am I to the truth I feebly utter?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
