Ahoy! There’s a new confectioner in(Greenwich) town … and it’s Mr Simms. Not a brand new enterprise as there are other Mr Simms’ dotted around the country and not the largest(I have popped in to one in Windsor that was larger) but none-the-less a quality addition to the Greenwich scene. Only small really, you’ll enter the shop and the centre of the room is a vacant space for perusing and queueing while the two side walls and behind the counter are lined floor to ceiling with chocolate, fudge, boiled sweets, lollies, marshmallows — really every variety of sweet you can think of and too many differing flavours of each to mention here. I picked up 2 Wham bars(they had 4 flavours in all), a bag of Raspberry and Kiwi boiled sweets and other such delights. I decided against a giant bubblegum flavoured cable and rued that decision later. As great a satisfaction as it is to buy bags of sugary wonderment for taste alone there was also a great feeling of nostalgia as I slowly made my way around gazing at all that was on show, being as wide-eyed as I’d ever been and just imagining how they all tasted. The only disappointment coming from the realisation that I can’t take it all with me and I must choose a small selection and be content with that. Which I was, dentists aren’t cheap y’know. With disappointment seen off, it was time to make some choices. The whole time I was in there, the soundtrack to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was playing. Mr Simms gets my vote over other similar sweet havens, like Cyber Candy, as they provide a superior quality of sweet and are also cheaper. A lot cheaper. I Love Mr Simms. Can’t wait until my next visit. I’ll be making enquiries about some sort of loyalty card scheme with them. Will update if the news is positive. FYSR, Ian
