Sales got under way at more than 800 branches of the ailing UK retailer Woolworths as thousands of shop workers fear for their jobs. The closing down sales add to uncertainty for the 25,000 staff at the retail chain, and disruption for other high street retailers already battling consumer reluctance to splash out amid the uncertain economic climate. The retail chain originated in the United States in 19th century, though American Woolworths stores closed their doors in the 1990s. Matt Cowan reports.
