Ye can’t beat your local shop can ya.
Yes Tesco may be cheaper and yes their milk may very well be delivered every morning, but hey, milk lasts aaaages now, and when it’s just the odd ‘bit&piece’, the price isn’t sooo important either.
What is important is the banter. «Grand day today isn’t it?», «Ah jaysus the country’s gone to the dogs», «Did you see your one who just walked by?», «I remember back in 1967…» Come to this shop, you’ll have banter coming outa your ears. And you’ll be dying for that loaf of kinda-​fresh bread to run out so you can get your next fix!
(If you’re on a vow of silence and do just want to pick something up real quick, you should go in just as school’s finished — he’ll be waaay to busy sorting out kids with sweets for major chats.)
You should also find anything you realistically need on a local basis here — all types of sweets, some fresh pastries in the chiller, your standard groceries like milk, eggs, butter, cereal, pot noodles, and a good selection of papers and magazines.
Go. You’ll love it!
