My first job was in a small shop, S.S.Radio, on the southern side of Woolies. 

Never to be forgotten was the day a Mrs Dowe inadvertently put her car in reverse, mounted the footpath and ended up in the Woolworth's main window, still with the wheels screaming in reverse.

My boss, Bert Spencer, and I  were initially reluctant to exit our shop because of the terrific noise emanating from next door.

However it subsided and we assisted and helped the lady out of the car. 

Fortunately there was no one on the footpath at that time and no one was injured in the incident!

However there was an awful mess to clean up!
