Photograph showing Sainsbury's staff from the branch at North Worle District Centre, Queensway, Worle, Weston-super-Mare on their branch's float at the carnival in Weston-super-Mare. The photograph appears in 'JS Journal' September 1980 with article explaining that "Getting dirty and scruffy proved an enjoyable task for staff at Worle branch during the carnival celebrations at Weston-super-Mare. BPO Barbara Bains says: 'Our float for the carnival procession was the result of more than three weeks' work and enthusiasm from management, staff and their families. The theme was "Food glorious food", the now famous song from the musical Oliver. The front half of the float was a representation of the workhouse scene, with the dirtiest scruffiest bunch of urchins imaginable, hungrily waiting for gruel! The other half of the float represented Fagin's attic—and all parts were played of course by JS staff!' All the efforts were repaid in full when the float was judged best in its class. The honours didn't even end there for that award was speedily followed by a prize for the most original entry".
