No that defiantly didn't happen and I doubt it ever has so why do they sell them in this shop is beyond me, guess you'd have to ask Mr News himself but it really cracks me up! I understand they want to sell as many things as they can and this is helpful as it is a late night convenience store but large soft toys? Really? Apart from that the shop isn't all that interesting but is a good stop off for a late night munch after a hard night on the ran-dan.

They have a great selection of sweets and crisps, with a relatively poor choice of soft drinks, by comparison. It's tight inside, with alot of other patrons also making a snappy purchase ahead of cinema time. A good shout for last-minute snacks and supplies you can stuff inside your coat pockets (after paying for them, of course).

And, um, well... that's about as far as it goes. To its favour, though, it does have a smashing selection of sweets, crisps, and drinks. You even find the odd throwback sweetie showing up here. I don't know if they just find the odd old box out the bag or if they're on top of that sort of thing. All I know is that it's the only place I can find things like Squares (crisps), Vice Versas (Okay, that was 3 years ago, but still amazing!) and Crispy M&Ms. It's super convenient, it's very cheap, and they have everything I could ever want for my cinema-snacking needs. They also have a pretty good selection of magazines. Beautiful!

I had a walk around and couldn't find what I was looking for, but the guy behind the counter was really helpful and fished out a 3m extension lead from under another display (it was in a packet!) and then grabbed a role of sturdy tape for me. All up it was just over £5 and my power/taping disaster was averted. Hurrah! So if there's something random you need, you should definitely visit here - who knows, they'll probably have it hidden away somewhere.

Their music / film sections concentrate on less mainstream releases, and some sections, particularly the letters, have a very "quirky" feel, for want of a better word, which I'm sure some people like but i just find a bit annoying. The sport section is far weaker than the other daily rags. Still, it's free though, so can't grumble.

The news articles are nothing special; pretty much a rewrite of the wires. But it's the features where The Metro truly shines; as well as the daily "Guilty Pleasures" section, a celebrity gossip update which delivers pretty much what is says on the tin, the newspaper regularly publishes indepth and interesting interview with top film directors, writers and actors; recent interviewees have been Clint Eastwood, Christian Slater and Ricky Gervais. And whoever came up with the 60 Second Interview deserves a knighthood as far as I am concerned.

Ok, it's not got the stock or as wide selection that forbidden planet, A1 or even Waterstones has these days, but for me it its actually better. What? Why? How? Give me reasons I hear you ask? Well I'll give you three; For starters its pretty much 99% graphical novels and tpbs, which in my book is a good thing as gave up collecting individual monthly comics in my teens. POW! It has a 2nd hand section which is a great way to take a chance on new stuff, and if you dont like it you can always trade back in for other stuff SOCK! Even though the new stock isnt as wide, you know that it will have been lovingly selected and hence less risk of a random punt WHAM! The staff are really nice and the coffee pretty good THWACK! Okay, so thats more than three... so plenty of reasons to go!
