BIG BITE

Big Bite
28 Shaftesbury Avenue,
London, W1D 7EG

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: N/A
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Well stocked chocolate display but inexplicably, they don't seem to have found room for even a single Cadbury's Twirl. There's room on these shelves, I'm telling you. OK, maybe crystal glass models of Big Ben are not to my taste, but I accept that on Shaftesbury Avenue, there might be a big enough customer base to justify the shelf space, but can there really be that much demand for boxes of Weetabix Bitesize cereal in a store like this?

WEST END METRO

West End Metro
38 Great Windmill Street,
London, W1D 7LU

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 70p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A small shop in the West End, but well stocked. Bit pricey, but perhaps to be expected considering location. Also do dry cleaning, apparently, which came as a bit of a surprise:



I certainly didn't expect it to be a legal matter.

SWEET EXPRESS

Sweet Express
33 Greek Street,
London, W1D 5DJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 70p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The man was outside enjoying a delicious, refreshing cigarette when we visited. He promptly stubbed the fag out in the street and came inside. 70p is quite expensive, but the location is very central, and high prices are to be expected. Sorry about the blurry picture. Twirl spotting should only really be attempted during the hours of daylight. A lesson learned. Who is that figure in the doorway?

RIPPONS

Rippons
88 Dean Street, Soho
London, W1D 3ST

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I had to wait to take this photo because Dexter Fletcher (or a man who looks a lot like Dexter Fletcher) got in the way.

COMPTON NEWS

Compton News
48 Old Compton Street, Soho
London, W1D 4UA

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop also has a fine selection of continental fashion magazines. Considering the name of this shop, I am not using "continental fashion magazines" as a euphemism - given its location, they hardly had ANY gay porn.

DODO SUPERMARKET

Dodo Supermarket
24 Frith Street, Soho
London, W1D 5LA

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Yes, OK. A convenience store. Brilliant.

SOHO FOOD STORE

Soho Food Store
12-13 Greek Street, Soho
London, W1D 4DL

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 70p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: By "food store", what they pretty much mean is "chocolate bars and packets of crisps". Possibly that would have been too long to fit on the sign.
