Clifton Household Store and Internet Café

Clifton Household Store and Internet Café is one of the weirdest places I’ve been in for a while, and is the kind of shop that takes me back to my time when I lived in India, where haphazard is achieved on a continental scale! So, somewhat inevitably, this shop makes me smile!
It stocks the strangest combination of goods, making it look a little unruly to say the least. One wall is lined with desk top computers that are hooked up to the internet, and the adjacent wall is lined with women’s fashion of the burka variety. The back wall is reserved for dry food sacks and tins as well as a few household items like brightly coloured blankets?! These are all stacked in an atypical way on shelves that have been positioned against a partition wall that is flanked on both sides by alcoves, and would fit neatly between them both if it weren’t for the fact that they have been positioned off-​centre. This means that the shelves protrude beyond the end of the wall by about a foot on the right hand side. I’m still smiling!
The shop counter is equally random, offering up a combination of confection, soft drinks and ladies beauty products. There are also a few aluminium cooking pots and implements on display for good measure! Love it!
