Offering a huge selection of groceries, drinks, pet supplies and more, and benefitting from…read morefriendly service, helpful staff and a stellar location, this local corner shop is a real gem. The store's interior is spacious, well stocked and logically laid out and everything seems clean and pleasant. The staff are welcoming and willing to assist customers when prompted and there is ample space for street parking outside the building. I visited this handy convenience store whilst passing, hunting for pet food for my girlfriend's new puppy. I was both surprised and impressed at the store's diverse range of pet supplies, and the prices weren't too bad either. I'd definitely visit again.

Have you noticed that smoking habits change from region to region? When I was in Durham I noticed…read morethere was a penchant for the Regal brand whereas in parts of West London Camels are all the rage. In the South-West everyone, it seems, roll their own. As a result it might be hard to get the brand that you usually smoke as a visitor in a town, as supply reflects demand. If you happen to find yourself in Solihull, you can rest assured that this shop will stock what you smoke. For a special occasion you might want to try one of the many cigars that they have to suit all budgets. Hand-rolling tobacco comes in different flavours and is sold by weight. Try cherry or vanilla for a sweet smoke. A wide range of smoking paraphernalia is also available like filter tips, cardboard tips, cigar cutters, and gift lighters. Smokin'!

I went in this shop looking for ideas for a Fathers Day gift for my Dad. I was browsing in here for…read morequite a while wondering whether or not to purchase some sort of smoking paraphernalia as my dad enjoys the occasional cigar. In addition to selling pipes, tobacco, cigarettes and cigars they also stock a range of shaving kits, silver tankards, cuff links, walking sticks and lighters. There were two middle aged ladies behind the counter chatting away. I was never once acknowledged by them not even when I was looking at the display of various tobacco products behind them did they even ask if I needed any help. The shop was empty apart from myself and one gentleman so it's not as if they were rushed off their feet with a big queue. Admittedly I'm not their typical customer who knows the difference between the various flavours and blends of tobacco. If you know the difference between a Romeo Y Julieta and a Hamlet or Irish Oak and Old Dublin then you'll love this shop. If you just want a packet of fags and a disposable lighter you might as well stick to your local corner shop or covenience store.

Don't be fooled, this is no 'party' shop as the sign on the outside might have you think but…read moreinstead a shop filled with smoking accessories. You can find paper plates and masks in a small corner but they're largely overshadowed by the sheesha pipes. The first thing to catch my eye was a framed Bob Marley poster. It was one of the legend smoking, and as I continued looking round the theme continued. Want your room to smell like marijuana? Get a hold of a cannabis air freshner! Want an ashtray in the form of a pair of breasts? Or perhaps some 'room odouriser' which is definitely not used out in the clubbing scene? The place reminded me of the shops you get in Amsterdam only minus the novelty cows and real drugs behind the counter. The gin and juice blunt wraps had me dreaming dreams of grandeur involving Snoop Dogg.

Mamma Mad is individual to say the very least, from the unmistakable shop front to the strange…read morerange of products found once inside. This place essentially focuses on smoking paraphernalia which is no doubt of much use to the shady student types of the Selly oak area. It's got sheesha pipes, blunt raps and novelty ash trays, essentially anything a marijuana user could wish for short of the drug itself. This place is certainly bright and has friendly staff and a regular footfall of customers. On the whole a bright addition to Selly Oak but one which has specialised interests shall we say?

Great shop for all things crafty. Its not very often that I go in here and cant find what I want…read more There is a great range of papers, pens, beads and stickers. It caters for stationary, jewellery making, card making needs

Nostalgia and Comics has been in Birmingham longer than I can remember. Even the Batman Returns and…read moreT:2 massive posters have been there since release. On my visit today it was bursting to the seems with Star Trek, Doctor Who and Lego merchandise with tee's, Models, Comics, Books Mugs and Posters. Its always had a mezzanine balcony and currently this is home to Back Issues. I felt guilty for not buying anything and just having a look around.

Great comic store, located next to the Beetham Tower/Radisson Blu. It's fairly large store with…read moreupstairs section. You don't have to be comic lover to visit, they do sell posters, collectibles, action figures and more items. I come here often to get me some Superman issues and maybe look around for some collectibles or cool stuff.

I walked past here the other day as I was trying to find a pub at the top of the road. As I was…read moreearly and it had started to rain, I decided to pop in and take cover. I must have been past this shop a number of times without even realising it was there. The outside window display had 2 mannequins in, each of which were extremely scary! They had on pretty cheap looking outfits that were meant to be sexy but instead they looked quite old. Inside wasn't much better. It had a typical warehouse feel which had been stocked full of adult shop items. If you know what you're looking for you could probably find it with ease but if you just fancied a browse perhaps a smaller shop would be better.

Going into Angels and Sinners was the first time I went into an adult shop and for some reason I…read morewas nervous. It does sound embarrassing and stupid but that's how I honestly felt. This store is for over 18's and because I look like a 16/17 year-old I did get asked how old I was which again was embarrassing. You might want to take some ID with you to prove your age. But what I will say is the staff made me feel welcome and they do have excellent customer skills and service. If you are looking for sexy lingerie, fancy dress costumes or clothing for hen/stag nights, you might want to consider coming here. I did find both the male and female fancy dresses to be on the expensive side but I guess that is not a surprise. But I know for a fact that some of my male friends would come here if they were looking for fancy dress costumes. Will I come here again? Only time will tell.

Feeling like an angel whilst walking through the store…read more.. Victoria secret is a name most people know and in my opinion this store is a must see if you like the world of glamour. The products are pretty expensive but the Quality is good - Sale time is therefore the best time to buy. The store is decorated with photos from the fashion shows and the famous angel wings. The service in the store is very helpful and friendly.

When I started working at the Custard Factory, I was so excited to see what appeared to my NAIVE…read moreEYES as an independent bookshop (with coffee, according to the signs!) and somehow I managed to completely NOT focus on the very large letters proclaiming 'ADULT STORE'. So this review is short - I walked in thinking one thing, and quickly walked out again rather humiliated. What I saw when I went in was probably a decent volume of publications (books and DVDs) for sale, but that was enough for me to know it's not for me. EMBARRASSING.
