Obviously I don't smoke, mum...but if I did I would buy my 'gear' from here…read more It smells fantastic in this tobacconist, really incredible. I pop in occasionally for some celebratory cigars or presents for friends; you can get some great boxes or single cigars. It really caters for all smokers, even casual ones like me, they range from £2.40 each to about £30.50 each, but of course you could always get the box called Monte Cristo, priced at only £435.20 it's a steal! I mean we did experience some slightly less than friendly customer service yesterday, you know, no small talk, annoyed by a card payment, tutting and awkward silence. But don't let that put you off, some would call it traditional and this shop serves a very important purpose that not many do any more, especially not in this country. They have a huge range of cigar cutters, from very cheap (perfect) to top of the range. They even sell snuff (that goes in your nose); I think I'll give it a miss though.

With park street, and indeed alot of the top of town, you will somewhat surprisingly find that…read morethere are not that many places to pick up a paper or get some chewing gum (or even some sweets if you need to satisfy your sugary craving!) Lexie's gives you the option to get those everyday desirable things, without having to walk all the way down to the tesco's at college green. Unless you live near the bottom then it would make more sense for you to go to tesco unless you want a bit more excersize! A nice clean shop, and stock's everything you would expect it to, very friendly inside.

The sun is beaming down as you face the dreaded walk up Park Street. You are nearly at the top. The Will's Memorial building is shading the sun from you, yet you are starting to feel faint from all this exercise. No worries, Lexi's is here! Pick up a sweet treat, a cheap and cheerful sandwich or a ice cold drink all for a fraction of the price that any other shop would sell. Fantastic.

Ah, the Bong Shop, a name apparently given to them by their customer's that has 'just stuck',…read moreaccording to their owner. Well you don't need to be a genius to work out who these customers were and what this stall is most associated with. I have been told by the staff that they sell 'alternative gifts and paraphernalia' but I didn't see anything my mum would like for Christmas. But really they've got some great little 'bits & pieces'. They do have an insanely random selection of stock, but they are good for Zippo lighters, flavoured Rizla and incense; basically if you can light it or light things with it you can but it here. They also do t-shirts...but I can't imagine that's why you'd pay them a visit. They are also perfect if you smoke a shisha pipe because they sell coals (and I think fruit tobacco) and are the only place in town I have found that does.

You'll often find 'buy one get one free' offers on groceries, and the alcohol selection beats Tesco's hands down.

Bus passes can also be purchased here, in addition to phone top-ups and, of course, a selection of newspapers (not forgetting the Evening Post) and magazines. Staff are always friendly and accommodating.

I popped in here a few weeks back with a couple of newspapers lined up in my head. However, in order to whittle down my choices, I went to open/scan one of the said papers. Before I'd had a chance to open it properly, I was interrupted by a scathing voice from behind the counter, informing me it was not within my rights to stand there reading his property. I'm not sure whether he thought this response would inspire me to buy the newspaper I was clutching, but if he did he was sorely mistaken. Whatever happened to the customer always being right? Gripes aside, this newsagents boasts the usual collection of magazines and newspapers, in addition to confectionery and stationary. Don't expect service with a smile, though...
