Lecky’s

This serves as the newsagent for the surrounding shops and passers by requiring cigarettes or the paper.
Now as a hack journo I do have to keep abreast of the news and general currant affairs. So, after summarily sinking a pint in the local watering hole I thought it best time to see what news was ‘going down’. I popped in for a copy of The Irish News and was ogling the UK nationals to see which of the broadsheets I would go for.
I ended up lifting a copy of The Times, the Irish News and a bottle of coke. Not the friendliest welcome I’ve ever received at the till, little coarse and almost irritated but alas, I got my papers.
This is a simple city centre news agent, no more. it certainly does the job unless you are looking for banter and a conversation then you should probably look elsewhere.

Lecky’s (great name!) is a corner shop situated in Church lane. It offers all the usual corner shop stuff. It stocks magazines, a lot of confectionery, the essentials of bread and milk and cigarettes. There’s nothing to special about it. The only reason I think it can survive the costs of being opened in the centre of city its convenient location in between lots of cafes and pubs. Many of their patrons can be seen going into Lecky’s to get a paper or a pack of smokes to occupy themselves whilst enjoying a drink or waiting on food. The gentleman who’s more than often manning the til has to be the grumpiest man I’ve ever had the displeasure to talk to. But the advantage of a corner shop is that your never in there long and you can just go back to chilling at Muriels or the Roost again.
