THE manager of News Express - known to many as Stars, in Field End Road, Eastcote, has picked up her poetic pen.

The End of an Era

I've written this verse Just to let you know That we'll miss you all And we're sorry to go.

We've seen children grow up and have babies of their own, While others have aged or departed. We've shared happiness and tears in our numerous years Serving people who are mostly kind-hearted.

There's the happy, the sad, the good and the bad, The jokers who make us all roar, Those who come here for a sympathetic ear And others who give us what for!

I'd love to list you all by name And give each a special mention But if I start, when will I stop?

I'll be drawing my old-age pension!

So please accept these heartfelt thanks From all of us to all of you. We couldn't wish for better customers -

Well, maybe one or two!!

June 13 2009 is a date we won't forget.

It's end end of an era, a sign of the times, another shop up for let.

And, as you pass by, on foot or in cars Will you fondly remember us as Stars?
