Bang you got Tesco next door, all your groceries toiletries anything you need on the day to day, if you’re looking to pig out you got the Korean store right outside one of the main entrances to the building on rockingham street (get the mango cake) you walk up its division street- you got urban kebab (get the big daddy meal) and cha time (get the passion fruit slush) walk along left instead of right and you’ve got ohannes burgers (it’s worth the money) and it’s right next to the Taco Bell at the end of the street- if you’re into sports opposite that you’ve got the common room (Super Bowl Sunday see me there) for all entertainment purposes- BUT they don’t have a ping pong table, if you walk down instead of up there’s the new Pandora- do NOT go there with your girlfriend I got scammed- the light cinema is even closer (going to watch “send help” tonight, it’s got Dylan O’Brien i think too 5 films this year) AVOID popeyes it’s all oil and if you’ve got bad taste there’s a Nando’s in the moor walk for you too
