    Well what can I say... I came here alot as a child and got to know the shop quite well. I especially loved the liquorice root (although they dont do it anymore unfortunately) and the little corner they have for childrens toys (mostly toy alligators of some description). The shop feels so homely (well, as homely as a shop can) and everything is a little old fashioned, although there is a NEW!! card machine. The customers are mostly regulars and come here to get the fabulous service they wont get in a supermarket. The shop sells a huge variety of food including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy and soya products... chocolate, snack bars, fresh bread, family baked samosas, chimichangas, spring rolls... the list goes on. This is why I chose to do my work experience here and I loved it. Its fantastic because you always get a good laugh (especially when John is in, on Fridays). Such was my enthusiasm and such was Steve Boss's desperation for extra people to work when other staff were sick etc that I got a job! and here I am, in the office in my lunch hour, eating some marvellous ukranian rye bread, feta cheese and lettuce provided for the staff amongst a huge selection of teas and coffees too. I get treated so well here its always a pleasure to come back and work saturdays and possibly some of the summer holidays. Better get back to work now I suppose!
