Jet News

Nice little convenient store.

I am perhaps biased about the quality of Jet News due to it’s sheer convenience to myself. Located approximately 2 meters from my front door, it is the corner shop of dreams. It has everything I could ever possibly want! From newspapers on a Sundays, to bacon and eggs on a hung over Saturday, to a cheeky packet of chewing gum on my way to work during the week. It meets every single one of my needs perfectly!
But by far and away the best thing about it is, as Alfie has already mentioned, is the 2 bottles of wine for £5. All I can say is that whoever is putting them at that price clearly knows nothing about wine. It’s really good red wine, but only costs £2.50 a bottle. I have spent a tenner on bottle of wine in the local supermarket that were not a patch on the Jet wine.
I reckon I have probably saved hundreds of pounds this year alone from that absolute bargain, and for this reason alone, Jet news gets the thumbs up.

Jet News is a superb newsagents and convenience store on Kingswood Road. Its also the only one between Fallowfield and Mauldeth Road, so if you are in the area, or you live nearby, you’d better make this your local stop for all things immediately required.
Its basically a normal newsagents, which sells all the usual things, but there’s absolutely no point (within reason) on which you can catch it out. Newspapers, confectionary, milk and bread, alcohol, its got it all, and always in stock, at good prices. Also, its got an alarming collection of football stickers if that’s your thing.
The piece de resistance though, without a shadow of a doubt (the phrase not the Hitchcock film), is the wine. For £5, that’s right, just £5, you can buy 2 bottles of wine. That’s £2.50 a bottle don’t you know. And the most surprising thing. its absolutely fine! If I had to call it either way, I’d say its nice! Honestly. Its worth the trip down there to stock up, as I have never witnessed such good value vin rouge this side of the English Channel.
P. s. they sometimes close for an hour at lunch so be prepared for marginal disappointment on occasion.
