Rather wonderfully, there are two old fashioned sweet shops in Chichester. I approve of this more than I approve of most things (I know, I have excellent priorities), but this is the one that I didn't spend any money in. It's not as cute as the one up the road.
To me, the best thing about an old sweetie shop is that it feels like buying sweeties when you were a kid. This place doesn't. It feels like a shop that happens to have cool sweets in. The other thing about sweetie shops like this is that they're not cheap. You'd get hardly any sweets for your 50ps these days. So I kinda need the magically transformation back in time, otherwise I'm not convinced to buy. And this time I wasn't.
Nothing wrong with the shop, just didn't do it for me this time. read more
