I've been popping in and out of this shop since I was about 10 years old. My earliest memory of the…read moreplace is when Granddad lived around the corner on Dyas Road and would always pick up his Evening Mail from there. I find it very satisfying that the shop is still there and looks pretty much as I remember it as a kid. Whilst it's changed hands a few times over the years it's still a reassuring fixture of the Kingstanding Road. These days I drop in once a month or so to buy tobacco, or some other 'essential' (is tobacco an essential?) as I pass through Kingstanding. As well as a newsagent this is also an off licence - it wasn't like that in my Granddad's day! - so, if the mood takes you, you can always pick up a beer or two for a reasonable price.

Selling a wide range of newspapers, magazines and everyday household items, this small…read morenewsagent-come-convenience store is a handy place to stop by whenever you're passing through Kingstanding. A large public car park is located just over the road, for shoppers visiting the Hawthorn shopping centre and several bus stops are within walking distance. Inside, the store is clean, spacious and very well organised. Though small in size, logical organisation and lack of makeshift shelving make ensure that the store never feels cramped, and friendly staff make every visit here a pleasant one. The prices are surprisingly good too.

I've used this newsagent for years and wouldn't go anywhere else to be honest. So friendly and…read morehelpful, and loved by all they serve day in, day out, with a smile on their faces. I've seen Chatali become a mother twice and watched the children grow into lovely well mannered young people which genuinely are a credit to her and Jit. Nothing is too much trouble for these pair of hard workers. Whether it is ordering in a fortnightly magazine or a monthly one, to sending your parcels or paying your bills, you won't find a nicer couple to help you with it. I don't know what I'd do without them, and don't want to find out either! If this would be a school report, it would be A+ & 5* all the way!

The young family that run the shop are really friendly and very helpful. Aside from the newspapers etc it also boasts a pay point useful for paying those bills, lottery and gas and electric pay as you go type cards. Clean, good range and handy when you dont want to go to far from home for anything forgotten.

As you many know Hall Green is a large residential area therefore there are a lot of news agents so I think what would make Sai news stand out is having a larger selection of food and drinks and possibly sell stamps.

Who knows...) was lovely - really smiley and pleasant. It was also extremely well-stocked - with anything you could ever want from parcel tape to plastic toys - oh, and plenty of newspapers/ magazines, of course. They also had a great selection of general groceries, and the shop was clean and well-presented. Probably the best newsagents I've been to in the past few weeks. Also, they seem to be very reasonably priced - for example, the chewing gum I bought was only 40p - I've paid twice that in some newsagents....

If I'm every after a drink, snack, or something to read on the train, I always head here instead of the much larger Smiths down on the station concourse. Newsflow's main selling point is the surprisingly expansive selection of magazines that they have on offer, with more than their wall space seems capable of holding. The prices haven't been ramped up with the proximity to the station in mind, either (a sharing bag of sweets retails for less than £2, which is competitive for anywhere, even large supermarkets), and the staff are always friendly. Even better, there's rarely a queue, meaning it can often prove to faster to go upstairs to Newsflow and then come back down to catch your train than it is to go to the nearby Smiths and queue for five minutes.

A greeting that would be more suited to coming from the mouth of a company rep greeting a valued customer at an airport arrivals gate, than me, a humble stranger in this shop. 'Are you a student?' he asks, 'Because I've never seen you before.' He clearly knows his customers well... The name on the sign says what the shop deals in, but on this small parade the shop has developed into a convenience store too, selling tins of potatoes, tuna and beans, packets of pasta and jars of jam. They also sell a range of mobile top-up cards from companies like Lebara and Lyca Mobile who offer cheap calls to overseas as well as to customers calling the same network. They have a bargain bin of short shelf life chocolate and I could do with some fuel. Wispa Gold isn't at the high end of the nutritional scale, but at 50p for two bars, it's what I want now at a price that's right.

To me there was nothing unique about this shop but what makes it stand out is that there are no other local news agents.

As you may know Acocks Green is a large residential area. I think what would make Raza news stand out from its competition is having a small selection of food such as fruit, and drinks and possibly sell stamps.
