WHISTLESTOP (REDUX)

Following my own, somewhat brief, report on the Whistlestop at Waterloo Station, wardytron adds the following photo:



He also says, incorrectly, "Its official address is 'Unit 28, Waterloo Station, London SE1 7LY'". Unit 28, of course, is actually a branch of Monsoon.

He adds, with more accuracy this time, "Twirls were 70p, which is on the high side, but the shop was well air-conditioned and not as busy as the WH Smith I photographed yesterday. Whistlestop operate a 'Meal Deal' system, where you can buy a sandwich, bottle of mineral water and a packet of McCoys for £3.59. There's also the option to exchange the McCoys for a Mars Bar, although sadly not a Twirl. However, prolonged and intensive lobbying might produce a U-turn, who knows?"

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Good
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 50p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by wardytron, who observes "Waterloo News appears to sell the least expensive Twirls in SE1, or at least in the bit I bothered going to. However the shop was quite warm inside and stank of rabbit hutches for some reason". Humorously, he also adds "I expect you're wondering who the man standing outside is, aren't you. Well he's your boyfriend hahahahahaha".

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Average
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by wardytron, who comments "They only had 5 Twirls left, although this might have been a result of their 24-hour opening policy. It's possible that 'all-night ravers' had come in and bought most of their Twirls in order to combat 'the munchies,' an affliction that affects drug users, not that I'd know about that sort of thing. Twirls were 59p. I've taken the picture at an angle so that you can see the table and chair provided in the event that customer wish to sit outside on a stinking pavement surrounded by traffic fumes and birdshit".
