THESPIAN Ginette MacDonald, has shopped in Kilbirnie for years and often been served by Pramod Patel
Impressed by his politeness she suggested to him “You must have worked here for five or six years now” .
“No, Madam” replied Patel, “I’ve worked here for thirty years”
And indeed it’s thirty years today (Wednesday July 28) since he began work at Woolworths.
“My mother was born in Wellington,” he says,”but she went back to India and I was born there”.
“I came straight from Gujurat where it’s very hot, and the weather here was cold. A relative found me work in the vege department, and I’ve worked at just about every job in the store ever since”.
