    A brilliant idea really, sticking an M&S simply food into a 24 hour petrol station, and one that's…read moreon the way to and from two universities, one of which has a 24 hour library. Filling your car up's expensive but it was never as expensive as this before was it. I mean at most usually a trip to the petrol station meant a cheeky Boost bar, or a Kinder Surprise for when your feeling a little bit crazy, but it didn't ever mean a super food salad, with fresh king prawns, or a large Sushi platter for around a fiver. In my experience, parents/elders/guardians/drivers become unusually generous around petrol stations, and always at least buy something there. My tip would be to lure whoever is your applicable person above, take them here, then just as they're paying for petrol throw down something ridiculously expensive and riduclously tasty onto the counter. They wont fail to buy it, and you'll all go home a happier, better person, I promise...

    Oh M&S... You fowl temptress!…read more Surrounded on all sides by better value establishments, this BP garage/ Marks & Spencer thrives on its 24 hour license and perfectly central location, floating by Lewes road Sainsbury and entwined in the one way system. Aside from having a night life saving cash point outside, there's little to recommend about this particular all night corner store... Everything from Doritoes and Dr. Pepper to custard creams suffers from hugely unnecessary prices... Just planning to get to Sainsbury before it closes, or stretching your legs another two minutes down the road will lead you to a far more wallet friendly store... With Alcohol! The service is perfectly friendly, and the fact it seems to be open every minute of the day means you'll find yourself weaving reluctantly between the parked cars to enter the store on more than one occasion.

    I have tried to call this number and I can't get throug? my daughter lost her phone in your shopread more

    Whilst Googling M&A, to find out there phone number to add to my review for them, I was quite…read moresurprised to see that the first entry that I could find was a an anti-M&A Facebook group. To be fair the group hadn't had an entry since early 2008, but still I was intrigued by the active hatred that the workers in this cornershop had seemingly inspired, due to them being quite so 'grumpy' and 'rude'. I have often been standing in M&A in the early hours, whilst everything else has been closed, maybe a little drunk, indecisively hovering aound their shop deciding what to buy for what might seem like an eternity, and they have always been friendly and quite humorous in my experience. So I can only go on that, and assume either the students who made the group are over sensitive, or the workers of M&A had some massive customer service crackdown after the facebook fiasco. Anyway, the best thing about this convenience store, and the only reason why I have been in it, is the fact that it opens til later than other off licences, so affords you the luxury of continuing your drunkery until 3am. This fact is known to most in this area, and sometimes you can find yourself having non-sensical chats to other people who've made the very same pilgrimage as you, and the store can get quite busy for such a time. There is also notably a decent selection of magazines on offer.

The organisation is approaching its 0th yea f operating and has been recognised by Lewes Council and Brighton & Hove Council for their imaginative green services. If your looking for furnishing and cant afford DFS then give Shabitat a call.

If every city had an independent, well-established second hand/ recycling centre like Shabitat the world would be a better place. For example, it recently provided me with a new bed frame for a mere £20, saving me the extra cost of shopping at a high street store. I recommend this place for students or for those not married about a bit of wear and tear. Its founding 'nothing-is-waste' philosophy is one that every community should adopt. Shabitat provides at least part of a model for sustainable living so in my opinion it's worth supporting.
