LuvPeckham Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3012-goodbye-mr-patel-mays-newsagents-on-barry-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich Born And Bred Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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.

wee quinnie Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well lets hope that its bye bye to the horrible "bing - bong" noise when you open the damn door. Barry says they are going to be renting out the shop - so who knows what we'll get in that spot.

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 not uncommon that noise these days but surely the worst example of the genre!

Selma Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I must say I am not at all sad to see them go. Every time I have been in there they are rude and unhelpful. I am surprised that they have managed to stay open so long as there is a excellent Newsagent just round the corner (Uplands Rd/ Hindmans Rd).

Keef Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 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.

???? Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 When I lived up that end I went in for my daily paper and they were always friendly - I wish them well Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3012-goodbye-mr-patel-mays-newsagents-on-barry-road/#findComment-93585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chichirara Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 9am on Saturdays and 10am I think on Sundays. A bit late for us I think they may have to revise times Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3012-goodbye-mr-patel-mays-newsagents-on-barry-road/#findComment-93666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
