London, EC1N 8TB

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 63p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by mixmasterfestus, who comments "good stock, pricey though" and also comments that the man behind the counter was "talking the crown jewels whilst playing on a BlackBerry. Very savvy". Very savvy INDEED, mixmasterfestus. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the guy in Portman Newsagent has set up a Blog Alert so that he gets an email (sent to his BlackBerry, of course) to let him know when Portman Newsagent has been mentioned on the internet. In which case - hello Mr Portman Newsagent man! Please take on board mixmasterfestus' comments regarding the pricing of Twirls in your store.

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Good
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 55p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by mixmasterfestus who points out that this shop is just round the corner from City News (and 3p cheaper) and also explains "They had 4 (now 3) Twirls. Due to the vast amount of chocolate they had, I couldn't find the Twirls, but the man was very nice and asked me if I was looking for something and pointed me towards them". That's what I like to hear, a story with a happy ending. With the economic situation continuing to look bleak, stories of swine flu filling the papers, we need to stay positive and remember the lesson of mixmasterfestus and the man from Hatton News. We need this.
