Great service from Mr Patel's news emporium.

I was recently peckish, so at 4 in the afternoon stopped at Mr Patel's, I was unfamiliar with the layout but Mr Patel pointed at the chocolate counter and I settled for a mars bar. There was plenty in stock so I bought it! He took my money and handed me the correct change.

I'm pondering a bounty bar next week and I certainly know where I'll be going.

Well done Mr Patel!:001_smile:

I once used a Patel's or it could have been his brother Patel.

Anyway he was more interested in listening to the cricket on radio 4 longwave than delivering good service.

When I couldn't find a jar of Marmite or any Yorkshire tea bags he responded using BBC English which I couldn't understand (bloody educated immigrants)

So I bought a can of Extra Strength Cyder and used his back alley as a toilet.

Can't say if I'll be using Patel's again as I was so pissed I forgot where I was.

A good friend of mine has a disabled child and his mother would send him off every morning to Mr Patels for milk and bread. Anyway she was away and my mate was left at the bridge for a week so off they sent him for the bread and milk, my mate checked the change and he was a fiver short. ( sent out with a tenner and given the change as if it was a fiver) Anyway next day he was sent off with the tenner but my mate was stood outside waiting, as his lad came out he grabbed the change and checked it , again a fiver short. Mr Patel sensed the displeasure of my friend as he ransacked the shop , collected the correct money and firmly put him in his place. It had probably been going on for years, anyway Mr Patel can now count. Thats an english education :thumbup1:

I know where I'm going to be buying my Mars bars etc in the future. There's only one place for me and that's Global Recycling.
