Possibly because they employ so many shop assistants who tend to just stand chatting round the till. Always feel like I've interrupted something when I go to pay.

As to why it managed to stay open for as long as it did is beyond me.
Not surprised the kids of today are so fat and layabout like if all there parents and relatives is do is buy expensive over priced throwaway plastic trinkets that some marketing nurd thinks are "Bright".
Lets hope it will be turned into a brothel, now that is a "Bright" idea..

I preferred it in the old days when it started up in the Needlemakers. I agree that a lot of the stuff is plastic tat from China and can be got cheaper elsewhere. I like the household stuff, less keen on all the toys.

Bright Ideas was a great shop - really uplifting walking around in it being surrounded by lovely things. The cards were incredibly expensive though. Boo

I have used this shop alot, mainly for presents and lovely cards. I now go to uckfield, where I can park free and shop all day if I need to!

Well, rosiecheeks, fuel is much more expensive than parking, so that's a false economy ain't it ?

Hey cleverdick Border control, did I say where I lived? I am lucky to be able to choose. I was born and bred in the Southover part of lewes. Lived there till I married In 70's. It has changed so much and not for the good. And the DFL's are up their own backsides. Just lucky I have the choice, come our of my house, turn left for lewes or right for uckfield

Wow. Ever heard of stocking fillers, sparklers, party bags, indoor fireworks, Valentines Cards, nice sniffs and soaps, stupid novelties, science toys, fart machines, shiny elephants, gizmos, last minute birthday gifts etc...
Yeah... Such a wide array of products is freely available, visible and cheaper elsewhere. Tell me where other than the Internet?
Does your child get to test the toys on the Internet and tell you they're pants?
And how does that make our kids fat layabouts?
Keep sneering and live in a town full of Flint and Patisseries.
Bright Ideas was a delight and saved my arse many times, but if you think my daughters Christmas presents were going to be based around handcrafted squirrel turds, then you will get the town you deserve, you sanctimonious snob.

She's right though. The anonymity of this forum encourages spiteful cowards and allowing them to say crap things they'd not feel able to say if they were known.
