No - Not a remake of the old 60's classic Goodbye Mr Chips (although the title does have a link)


Sadly Mays Newsagents (44 Barry Road) shut their doors over the weekend as Mr and Mrs Patel have decided to retire and enjoy life for a bit.


No more potato Chips (hence the title link) and I would just like to wish them both well and a happy retirement.


If you are concerned where to get your Newspapers, bus pass, oyster tickets or potato chips now? Barry's off license has taken over all of the above (but how heartless of you to ask rather then wishing Mr Patel well... shame on you (6))

Bye Bye Mr Patel!!

I always used to pop to that shop after school ( Waverley) when I was a wee little girl to buy some crisps and a drink.

I hope they have a lovely retirement chilling out and doing things they couldn't find time for since running a shop takes over your life.

Well aren't we all lovely and friendly. Good luck to them in their retirement, they've been there as long as I can remember, and Funnily enough, never been rude to me. Maybe when people have no respect for shopkeepers and talk to them like servants, it's hard for the shopkeeper to keep smiling... Just a thought.

If I remember correctly, 7am-10pm Monday through Friday but I can't remember the weekend hours (maybe 8am ??)


Keef, well said sir about how people treat shop workers...

    • That's absolutely disgusting. If it's true they should have closed the shop until it was fixed.
    • I have read conflicting accounts, some say the Peckham Rye pond chelonians are fresh water turtles others that they are red-eared terrapins. As well as terrapins, there are reports of Musk Turtles, a non native, fresh water turtle species also being released into the wild. They are also better equipped to survive our winters and do not seem to need to bask as much as terrapins. Perhaps we have both. I have not been able to see them close enough to observe markings.
    • If you look in the Gala thread someone posted a map of the event site, which has larger footprint than before. The build has already started and will now continue until the event. Dismantling is due to end 1st June, I think.
