BHS

Although I like some of the gifts and Christmas decorations in BHS, this store is really inaccessible for anyone with a buggy — if I can’t fit a buggy down the aisles, then how on earth would anyone with a wheelchair get in there!
The changing facilities are ok, but if you wanted to feed your baby in there you would need a gas mask as they hardly ever empty the nappy bin

BHS, like Littlewoods and Marks and Spencers, used to be an essential on the hIgh Street. Nw Little woods is gone and M&S struggles to keep it’s head above water, it really is beyond me how dowdy old BHS has managed to survive. Selling tacky and not cheap housewares, ‘novelty’ Christmas gifts, but worst of all — the most unflattering ‘old lady’ clothes (with apologies to old ladies, who are mostly much better dressed) that really could suit no-​one. Maybe Exeter’s branch is the worst, I don’t know, but it firmly belongs to the part of Exeter that got left behind when the new Princesshay was opened. Avoid.
