JOE'S NEWS



Joe's News
42 Store Street
London, WC1E 7DB

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I went there just as the store was about to close and the man was bringing in the racks of postcards. I'm not sure if the man was Joe himself, but he was clearly pretty high up in Joe's News. Vice-Joe maybe. He engaged in some jolly banter with the woman in front of me, who was paying by card for something or other. "You don't know what you're missing!" she said. "I do!" he replied, laughing. I have no idea what they were talking about, although was impressed by his efficiency - as the card payment was processing, he rang up my Twirl and served me.

SUPERSAVE



Supersave
4 Kilburn Bridge
London, NW6 6HT

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Not available
TWIRL STORAGE: N/A
TWIRL PRICE: N/A
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Twirl information and photo supplied by hencehemmo, who filed this audio report*. Unfortunately, despite the man behind the counter being a big fan of Twirls, they didn't have any. They might have some on Tuesday though. To make up for not getting a Twirl, hencehemmo decided instead to get some fags.

Not just if you're a lady/peer/aristocrat either, just if you're a woman."
