Aleef

Three things which make this established branch of Aleef different from the other Aleefs around town:
1) The sign. Due to the old building it is located at the bottom of, it seems that the trademark green and white sign is banned. Instead it has a yellow and black sign, which makes it look a little classier, but confusingly it is called Aleefs rather than Aleef.
2) It sells foreign newspapers. If you’re after a copy of Le Monde or die Bild Zeitung (German paper which makes the Sun look classy) then this is the place to come.
3) The staff. In every other Aleef (s) I’ve been into I’ve handed over my quid and walked off with my emergency energy bottle of Coke. In this one they always talk to you. Once I was wearing an item of Billabong clothing, and they simply repeated the word Billabong over and over to me. They also used to wave at me as I was walking down Oxford Road.
Otherwise, it’s a standard newsagent where you can buy fizzy pop and magazines. Handy when you’re nowhere near a Smiths.
