   Ah, the local "Spa." A temple of convenience, a haven of… well, a haven of whatever you've just run out of. I must say, the sheer audaciousness of its offerings is something to behold. You enter, and the air is thick with the sweet, synthetic scent of a hundred different fruit-flavoured vapes, a fragrance that whispers of a life lived on the edge of a nicotine patch. It's a scent that says, "I'm not here for a quiet browse; I'm here for a purpose, and that purpose is probably a packet of crisps and a disposable e-cigarette." The alcohol selection is a masterclass in economy. Forget your single malts with their complex notes and aged pedigree. Here, we have the "Whisky-style spirit drink," a bottle of liquid ambition with a label so vague it could be legally considered a haiku. The vodka, a clear and present danger to your liver, is not so much a spirit as it is a challenge. It's the kind of liquor that makes you question your life choices before you even open the bottle. But it’s the food, oh, the food, that truly elevates the experience. The sandwiches, hermetically sealed and displaying a sell-by date that feels less like an expiration and more like a dare, are a testament to human ingenuity. They are the culinary equivalent of a single-use plastic bag: functional, cheap, and filled with a mysterious sense of existential dread. For those who crave the thrill of the unpredictable and the taste of the suspiciously affordable, the Spa is a must-visit. It's a place where you can buy a single banana, a lottery ticket, and a litre of "White Rum-flavour Beverage" all in one transaction. It's not a convenience store; it’s a lifestyle, and a beautifully, unapologetically cheap one at that.

   Now isn't convenient in the slightest. It doesn't open until 8. So no point in rushing there in the morning. More expensive than most shops (I didn't mind paying for a convenience) would genuinely be pointless stepping inside unless you need the post office or live less than 100m away. (Even then I'd walk the 400m to a cheaper shop for one that's open at those nishe times

   A lovely local shop with a great array of items. Some may be more expensive than elsewhere but overall good value and often saves a trip to town. Very nice, friendly staff.

   Have just been to this disgraceful shop lots of commotion going on as I bought my tango blue balls and orangeade went to go and check what was going on and a young man was being violently escorted out of the shop with one of the workers shouting “get out my bloody shop” after this commotion I and my friend was told we were banned for just being there. Not happy at all wanted some sausages later but I guess not now

   Every single time I go into this shop things are going up in price. I understand that everything is going up on the world but for simple things in that shop they’re charging way way more than any other shop I’ve been too. They also have prices on things and then when you go to the till it’s higher? This hasn’t happened just once to me but near enough everytime I go to that shop. For this reason I will only ever use it for emergencies now. Shop staff are lovely though.

   I have always been happy with the service received and the pleasant staff at this shop but I am very concerned that there seems to be no attempt to enforce the mandatory requirements for customers to wear face masks. Within a few minutes today, while I was waiting to be served, three different customers ( all men) came into the shop and were served at both the post office counter and the other tills with nothing being said about the fact that they were not wearing masks. I asked the staff member on the till about this and he just said “ we can’t make people wear them”. I know this is true but surely it wouldn’t be difficult to say something to people like”next time you come into this shop please wear a mask” or have a big sign at the entrance saying customers are not welcome without a mask. It is so irresponsible when there is such a high infection rate at the moment. Unfortunately you have lost my custom for the time being.
