Even if this shop sold nothing but lumps of old metal and broken calculators I'd skip in every day…read morewith glee and find something to buy. This is a Happy Shopper, a flagship in my miss-spent youth and one worth supporting. To be fair I thought at one stage they'd slipped under with Wimpy's, Woolworths and all the others who helped me through my acne stages. Clinging on like English forts in Wallace's Scotland however the occasional Happy Shopper can still be sought. Ice pops, cheap sweets, kids magazines and more; cheap lager, wine, soft drinks and pop corn. They're not going to be winning any prizes for healthy eating but come on - it's Saturday morning, you're 14, you've got a whole pound to spend on whatever you like... Happy Shopper!!

This is a very polite, friendly little shop at the heart of a friendly little community. It has…read moreeverything that you'd expect such a store to have to see you till the next day or indeed, the next trip to the shop. Eggs, milk and bread are the main commodities in these parts it would seem, taking centre stage next to the newspapers and magazines. There's a good sweet selection for the kids as well as a wide choice of children's comics - just the sort of factors I used to love on a Saturday morning. Another nice point is the presence of fresh fruit, which is always an added bonus. Aside from the shop keeper constantly calling me Sir (which is as dignifying as it is annoying in equal measures) and the newspapers being thoughtfully laid out next to each other on the chest freezer, that's about it. What more could you need?

Cash machine, E Top up, tobacco and chocolates are just some of the commodities to be whisked up for the office. A wide selection of newspapers, magazines and snacks complete the picture along with some very pleasant service-with-a-smile. They even have a newspaper delivery service.

How many deals and offers can you squeeze into regular sized corner shop? This is the answer…read more Having been using this store for years it has occurred to me that when they think of a new deal they don't take down the last. Thus if you had time, I'm sure, you could do your whole week's shop for a couple of quid. Eight cans of Kronenbourg for less than a quid each, or two pints of milk for two pound are two of my favourites. There's a good choice of sweeties and chocolate here too with some way out dated stuff like Flying Saucers or Sour Bottles. Ignore the slightly rubbery taste and it's 1999 all over again!
