Needed 50 A4 envelopes. Co-op didn't sell them, so went to Menzies. Place I normally avoid unless it's for a Racing Post, as I know it's expensive. A 5 pack of envelopes cost £1.55 = 31p per envelope. So, for 50 it would have cost me £15.50.

Eventually found a Pakistani newsagents selling 25 packs for £3.20, so ended up saving £9.10!

Nah, he's probably dead by now. But his shops live on (well, in Scotland, anyway).

You're right. I googled it. Must be W.H. Smith, then. Used to be McColls.

WH Smith must've bought J.Menzies out, they're a proper esatblishment
