NIKIT NEWS & OFF LICENCE

Nikit News
8 Inverness Street
London, NW1 7HJ

TWIRL AVAILABILITY: Excellent
TWIRL STORAGE: On shelf
TWIRL PRICE: 60p
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The name of this shop is possibly a bit unwise. Please don't consider it an invitation. The sign outside advises of a "Meal Deal", where for £2.40 you can buy any chocolate bar, crisps and a Relentless energy drink. I'm not sure if this actually counts as a meal.



I don't care if you have unwrapped the chocolate bar and placed it next to a pile of crisps, it's still not a meal.

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?"
