Always smiley, friendly and often cheeky, the people who work here are fantastic true-Londoners and I always leave with a smile on my face. If you're in the area pick up your five-a-day from Ross' - it has been in Worcester Park my whole life, it's practically an institution and we should all support our local businesses!

They have a far bigger range of goods too, salads, sandwiches and soups for lunch, chilled and prepared food, jams, preserves, cheeses, hams, homemade cakes and chocolates, corkscrews and linen for the table. Last time I was in there they were playing some jolly, very Christmassy and very twee music (it was November but I bet they started playing it on the first cold day in August) and the whole place smelt amazing. I managed to buy a nice chickpea salad but forgot to enquire as to the name of the band playing in the background. I was thinking maybe for my grandmother or maybe if I was having a very bad day...

Bayley and Sage is a beautiful idyllic village grocery store. It's almost like stepping back in…read moretime to an era of fresh produce straight from the locals farms with friendly local service, the only thing stopping you from believing you've slipped back in time is the contemporary style to the shop. They are also a little more upmarket than your typical grocery store. There's lots of organic produce, lots of gourmet foods and a wide selection of wines. The prices you pay reflect the quality of the products and produce you're buying but it is great and I love it. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's definitely better than heading to your local Tescos.

As the sun made an unexpected appearance today (spare a thought and prayer for those poor people…read moreflooded out in Wales today in the middle of our alleged summer), I took advantage by walking from Tooting Bec to Tooting Broadway station today, a walk which takes you through an area filled with ethnic food shops and restaurants. I was pleased to see that it's mango season back in Pakistan and India, which means that the ethnic supermarkets and greengrocers' shopfronts fill up with boxes upon boxes of yellow Asian mangos. Beware, the price and quality can vary and quite often, the mangos are over-ripe. These over-ripe ones are fine for putting into desserts (in fact, they may be sweeter and more fragrant for this purpose) but they're too far gone to slice and eat fresh. There's such a wide choice of vendors that you should always insist on feeling and smelling the fruit from the actual box that you're buying and not the box on display. The colour and the wrinkliness of the flesh isn't actually that accurate a test of the ripeness and sweetness of the mango. Instead, use your nose - a ripe mango will smell sweet and it should give slightly under the thumb when you exert a little pressure. The slightly longer honey mangos come from Pakistan and the shorter rounder Alphonso mangos come from India. They're both wonderfully sweet and aromatic. Certainly several notches above the South American mangos you find in the conventional supermarkets Also, this being Tooting, haggle! If you buy a few boxes, you can always secure a discount. Daily Fresh Fruits is a bustling shop with a large selection of fruit and veg from a lot of ethnic backgrounds. They had some nice ripe mangos and I secured a good price from the chap outside. Cold mango is a perfect antidote to a hot day!

Do not on any circumstances let them "mend" your phone. If it does not work, they will not answer your calls, cut you off, deny all knowledge and basically not be truthful. A screen replacement should not be difficult but it has been made worse by the chaps at Daily Fresh Foods. Apparently they don't know when staff are coming back from holiday and are just plan rude. Avoid at all costs.

One of my favourite places to procure fresh fruits and veggies. Not only do they have a…read moremarvelously varied selection - everything from your most exotic veg to your more mundane staples - it is also *cheap.* I dare you to find a chain grocery store that comes close to underselling these folks. Yet, unlike some inexpensive fruit and veg stands.. where you feel like you'd have to scrub the skin off your produce before you'd be convinced it was sanitary enough to eat... Ali's, wonderfully, doesn't feel cheap... there's nothing dingy or unclean about the place... everything is kept tidy and orgnanised and beautifully stacked. The other thing that keeps me coming back here is the shop's proprietor. He is always smiling and courteous - and well, one of those kindly sort of people that you just *want* to buy from... again, try finding someone like that at Tesco's HQ!
