Oh right, so that's its name. To be honest despite years of this being my local newsagents I've…read morenever had a reason, nay the downright tenacity to glance up and get to know this place as anything other than that shop by mine that has everything. An outsider venturing here would fail to be impressed as it bears little difference to a billion little newsagents up and down the high streets of Britain but, for the most part, they're all equally brilliant. Where else can you burst in five minutes to closing time on a Christmas Eve demanding medium-slice bread and be answered with what you asked for, as opposed to a smack in the mouth? I'm just gutted I wasn't alive in 1905, when the building was used as a 'chronometer manufactory'. What the hell do either of those two words mean? Answers on a postcard.

Watergate news is a very handy newsagents for those working around Chester city centre. It is…read moreuseful for emergency chocolate supplies, and obviously sells papers and cigarettes as well as a selection of magazines. There is a card section to one side which is good if you need to get a greetings card at short notice. Because of the strange shape of the shop (something of a Chester speciality) it is quite difficult to joint the queue or to get to the papers.

He treats all his customers fairly and works very efficiently making sure everyone has the correct amount of attention. The shop has a calm and friendly atmosphere whenever I go in, its very tidy and organised with all the essentials you need. I really wanted to rate it as I haven't found this shop with a rating yet online and feel it really deserves a 5 star. Thank you.

This is probably the smallest place I'll ever review but take care with the name it is Saad, don't…read moremiss spell it as Sad because this shop is anything but! A veritable treasure trove of goodies, it seems to stock anything you could require from a convenience store and isn't expensive. What makes it special though is the smiling proprietor who serves all customers as if they are the most important person living, a joy to behold and log may he prosper.
