A few weeks back I posted a note about the shop called Wickle on School Hill.
I'm now feeling rather paranoid that the owner is having a laugh at the previous posts regarding his/her shop as, for the last couple of weeks, balls of twine have been on display in the window with a price tag of £25!
Mind you, it has made me giggle every time I pass.

Yes I think they must've seen those posts and have decided to have a laugh at the comments.

It would be worth a chuckle....if the comments posted about "another new Lewes shop selling a ball of string for £35" weren't so spot on

Balls of string now removed from window - Hoorah!
But has Lewes been saved?
I do not want Lewes to be known as the string capital of the UK - it's a bit ropey! How can we stop these "hobby traders" destroying our town?

If ever there was an argument against local traders and for large chain stores - Wickle is it.

Does anyone know why their ball of string is so expensive?

Magic date again - 29th February!

Its probably so expensive because the owners of Wickle realise that there are so many londoners living in Lewes who are stupid enough to pay the prices.

The £25 string has been removed from the window and has now been replaced by cotton doorstops (filled with dried beans) - a real bargain at £20. A small cushion is also available for £55.
It's becoming very painful (with laughter) to walk past this joke shop!
Lewesianne - somehow I doubt it!

If you lend someone £20 and don't see them again it was probably worth it.
