Patel News

If you get off at the right bus stop you should pretty much land within spitting difference of this handy little newsy in Pudsey, albeit on the wrong side of the road. I’d decided to make a trip out here on the bus from Headingley, and I really don’t like buses — I get petrified I’ll get off at the wrong stop and be in the middle of no where, but this actual journey was fine. A journey without incident on the bus, as my boyfriend calls it ‘the loser liner’ or ‘the loser cruiser’, was great but as it was about 30 minutes from Headingley it gave me quite a thirst!
Enter: Patel News! Pretty much the first bastion of hope for a quick thirst quencher having prised myself from the bus and headed off into Pudsey town. They sell all the usual suspects that you could expect from a little newsy like this, snacks, sweets, papers, mags, gum and cigarettes, but what I really needed was an ice cold can. Perfect, the fridge offered a few choices but I went with classic cola. Yum! A great way to start my day in Pudsey. And a really useful shop to bump into to boot.
