I used to have a saturday job in this shop more years ago than I care to remember. Unfortunately…read morethe store does not seem to have been updated since then. Having said that they do have probably the best selection of magazines and newspapers in town, and my son loves it for the cheap pocket money toys they often have.

I will certainly not be returning here. Such a shame to see how the shop has changed over the years. It was so handy to be able to park outside, and such a shame it has gone downhill.
