WORCESTER PARK MINI MARKET

Worcester Park Mini Market
180 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8HQ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 59p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: When I was taking this photo, I noticed that the man in the shop was looking at me, so I felt too self-conscious to go in to the shop. However, I am so dedicated to this blog that, later, when I went to a party at my aunt's house nearby, I drank so much alcohol that I was forced to sleep in their spare room and come back the next day.

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 52p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: There used to be a proper post office around the corner on Green Lane, but then they closed it and opened one here.

OFF LICENCE

Off Licence
171 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8DR

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd never really noticed it before, but this shop appears to just be called "Off Licence". Dadward used to be such a regular customer here that frequently he would just march in, take a can of lager from the fridge and walk out without paying. He would pay them later, he's not a thief.

UK HOUSEHOLD

UK Household
155 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8DT

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This shop used to be called BJ Drugstore. If you're 12 years old, "BJ Drugstore" is a very funny name for a shop. They mostly sell household goods, but have a small selection of chocolate bars (though sadly no Twirls).

SHREE GHANAPATHY FOOD & WINE

Shree Ghanapathy Food & Wine
113 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8DU

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Sold out
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: 55p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Not a very catchy name, this used to be called Variety Central and before that it was Ottama News (although Mumward used to pronounce this as "Ottoman News"). They didn't have Twirls so I bought a can of Dr Pepper instead.

READ 'N' RITE

Read 'N' Rite
104 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8HU

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 50p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: As I was taking this photo, a guy in a white van beeped his horn and yelled "Oi, mate", I looked round and his mate held up a small whiteboard on which he'd written "I love you". I responded by flicking him the Vs.

COSTCUTTER

Costcutter
57 Central Road, Worcester Park
Surrey, KT4 8EB

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I used to go to this shop to buy beer when I was about 16 because they used to serve me even though I was underage. I think that was before it was a Costcutter though, I can't remember what it used to be called. They now have a section selling Polish food. They didn't used to.

JOLLEYS NEWSAGENTS

Jolleys Newsagents
206 Cheam Common Road, Worcester Park,
Surrey, KT4 8QJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Good
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 55p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A very elderly gentleman opened the door as I was about to go in. There was a moment of confusion when I paused to let him pass and he did the same. I solved this by shoving him out the way. This shop used to have an excellent selection of penny sweets, including some amazing little chocolates in foil cups. They no longer sell these sadly, although do still have a fine pick and mix selection.
