No - Not a remake of the old 60's classic Goodbye Mr Chips (although the title does have a link)


Sadly Mays Newsagents (44 Barry Road) shut their doors over the weekend as Mr and Mrs Patel have decided to retire and enjoy life for a bit.


No more potato Chips (hence the title link) and I would just like to wish them both well and a happy retirement.


If you are concerned where to get your Newspapers, bus pass, oyster tickets or potato chips now? Barry's off license has taken over all of the above (but how heartless of you to ask rather then wishing Mr Patel well... shame on you (6))

Bye Bye Mr Patel!!

I always used to pop to that shop after school ( Waverley) when I was a wee little girl to buy some crisps and a drink.

I hope they have a lovely retirement chilling out and doing things they couldn't find time for since running a shop takes over your life.

Well aren't we all lovely and friendly. Good luck to them in their retirement, they've been there as long as I can remember, and Funnily enough, never been rude to me. Maybe when people have no respect for shopkeepers and talk to them like servants, it's hard for the shopkeeper to keep smiling... Just a thought.

If I remember correctly, 7am-10pm Monday through Friday but I can't remember the weekend hours (maybe 8am ??)


Keef, well said sir about how people treat shop workers...

    • Couldn't agree more with the recommendations for Greg and Raven Plumbing & Heating. Swift and accurate communications, speedy diagnosis of the issue with our ancient boiler, and a well-priced solution identified and put in place. All topped by friendly and helpful face-to-face interactions with Greg and his team. Thanks again, guys!
    • Not sure if this has already been posted, but players are needed for a league that is being put on by Go Mammoth. Players can sign up as a team or individuals for a Men's Monday Nights or a Mixed Tuesday Nights league. It's on a new indoor pitch apparently. https://www.gomammoth.co.uk/5-a-side-football/dulwich-north/?leagueid=2374
    • That sounds like a good addition to Lordship Lane. Good luck to them!
    • I would have agreed, but the pub which was there previously seemed to do alright? It might work the other way round, that if a pub was there the nearby businesses (eg the plant/flower  shop) might actually get more custom? Admittedly that bar which was briefly on the corner of Melford (?) Road didn't do very well, but I think that was for different reasons.
