Favourite Southend shop.

[Mad Cyril]

My favourite Southend shop is Music King which is on the London road opposite Chalkwell park.

F*** knows how they make a profit though.

This is closely followed by The Kings off licence in Hamlet Court road.

Anyone else got any favourites?

There's an Indian shop near Argosy Toys that's brilliant - with an in-house butchers, a handful of chilies for 5p, and every spice you could possibly need. Also, 2.5kg of spuds for 80p. My favourite for food shopping.

Tesco when Bulmers is 75p a pint.

312 London Road is quite good too.

Not sure if that's in Harmony with the thread. ;)

The Pundland in the High Street, can't wait for the VAT reduction to take effect.

Rosehills used to be good and cheap in the 70's.

I also like the shop on Alexandra street that is now Zebedee Zhop.

I used to buy my Campri ski jackets there in the 80s.

Used to love Keddies - posh stuff upstairs, a decent coffee lounge and a bargain basement. Now, don't know, Southend's a bit soulless - the club shop perhaps?!

Isnt that a contradiction?

 

[fatshrimp]

Surprised nobody has mentioned the club shop!

Personally, I think Havens or Ravens are both good for gifts. You can get some decent clobber in Ravens too.

No, why? I like the club shop. I meant the High Street is a bit soulless.

How can you say that when we have The Owl man and various Patagonian/native American musical street acts?

 

[Desert Shrimper]

Soulman Records - Soulman Steve knew his stuff. Also the record shop (which I think is still going) on the London road up by Thames Drive (Leigh Record Exchange??) was always good for a few bargains......
