When I informed him politely that I didn't believe this to be true he became aggressive & shouted that I wasn't welcome in his shop & ordered me to leave. Firstly I would like to point out to the aggressive shop keeper that I had walked past the "Main Post Office" to get to the small independent shop as I always try to spend with smaller businesses & intended to make an additional purchase. Secondly the stamp on the parcel had been purchased from his location earlier in the year along with a postage label. Sadly a very angry & aggressive individual & as a result a formal complaint has been made to The Post Office customer service.

I was understandably quite shocked and carried on my way. I did decided to phone this irate man after as maybe a case of mistaken identity.. he then accused me of taking photos of his greeting cards... what the hell! I am a successful business man (ok dressed in casual clothes because it was Friday) What do I want with photo of his cards??? Totally nuts! He did not apologise and just slammed the phone down after his false accusations. I generally like to support local business rather than going to large corporate firms but I cannot support someone who verbally abuses inocent members of the public for no reason.

A newspaper delivery service is on offer from here but because of this everytime you turn up around the end of school there are hoards of school children gathered waiting for their mates to turn up or buying their sweet fix for on the way home. This makes driving in the small road it is built on very difficult and becuase of this I do avoid the shop during these times. However at other times it is so convenient and you can park outside to pop in for your newspaper and sweets. Newsagents help to form part of our community and because of this I would always try to support as much as I caould these small business's and Rookwood news is one of those places! However
