Granting Sunday trading to the big supermarkets killed them off. The last one in my area closed last year.

Corner stores have disappeared  Stawka-shame.

Too right - a SA schooner is only middy-sized, an SA pint is only schooner-sized (3/4 pint), and a butcher (or pony), well they are only for spivs and publicans

i guess the drive to the supermarket would add up to about the same. . the thing is to remember to buy it when i'm near the supermarket .

i think when servos changed to self serve and offered just about anything a lunch bar would may have caused their dimise too

i have to travel to get to my favs and they do change management frequently

theres one in queens park an indian took over, i go there for his cooked take'a'ways, mmm

joz,  I had a servo a block away - nice and handy for those forgotten items.

They closed because no one would work there.  They kept getting robbed
