    This place makes me want to smoke cigars, in a big bad way. I don't smoke and never have but I was prepared to get on the bandwagon. The smell of this place would turn even the most anti -smoker to the dark side. Nothing would give me more pleasure (and cancer) than to spark up one of these up just for the smell of it. Cigars are expensive though, a box of Fonseca No.1 will set you back £215 quid. I know there are cheaper ways to kill yourself, but this one pleases my nostrils the most. I'll leave you with some advice my local Bishop always gave. If its not rolled on the inner thigh of 60 year old sweaty Cuban lady, it's not worth smoking.

I have some sort of messed up metabolism and need to eat about every 30 minutes. I don't like eating a lot of snacks and junk food so having a purveyor of some healthier alternative (a rare find) on my route is great. On my visits I would buy from their great selection of cereal and smoothie bars to fulfil my calorie needs. Having said this The Paper Rack does have a good selection of snacks and junk food as well as (for some reason) decent quality tinned biscuits. As has already been mentioned they also have a good selection of papers and magazines, a must for all newsagents. The staff serving me were always on the phone but managed to still be perfectly pleasant. They seemed to charge me something different every time for the same item, but it was always cheaper than the other nearby newsagent.

    A newsagent's can only be so good I suppose, but with the rip-off haven of the Royal Mile just a…read morefew yards away, I really can't think of a better option round here for fags, chewing gum, scratchcards or gossip fuelled tabloids. With a selection of mags that almost rivals International Newsagents down the road, minus the foreign ones, it's very well stocked, and they also sell the fantastic Brannigan's crisps, the king of potato snacks and often annoyingly awkward to find.

    I have bad news for Sam... They've obviously put the prices up since you were last in here. Despite…read morealready being ridiculous, it is in fact possible to charge even more for the most basic essentials. I made the (somewhat recurrent) mistake of overinduldging slightly the night beore my parents came to visit during my final term of uni, so on the way to meet them the next morning I was in dire need of something cold, fizzy and devoid of any semblance of booze. So imagine how pleased I was to look up and see the sign for this shop just ahead of me; I could almost taste my Diet Coke already. Maybe I'll get two, I thought, just to really make sure it sorts me out. Except then I get to the counter and the woman wants £2.40 for the two cans. When I stared at her in a mix of utter disbelief and panic at the thought that I might have to part with one of my lovely cans, the girl in the shop just laughed and said "Aye, a ken pet, it's a lot ey?". Er, yes shop lady, it is. It's ridiculous.

It's probably the best McColls I've been in, which may not be saying much, but they do go that extra mile with their stock, selling hot dogs and even (possibly) fresh cakes. On the flipside, on my past two visits here I've seen both an old woman try to pay with a fake 20, and a guy in a wheelchair buy a bottle of vodka. At 12pm. Welcome to Scotland.
