Sad news that I failed to report the other day: Oddbins in South Street is to close. The company has been bought out by a large French chain, and they are closing all the smaller stores and rebranding the larger ones. This is a great loss to Chichester city centre – it is by far the best off licence and wine merchant (yes, better than Arthur Purchase for wines, in my view) and offers great customer service. More worryingly, it means I no longer have a source of Sagres beer.
