Good bye high street...

    Seriously though, what are us girls supposed to do on a Saturday if the High Street disappears?

    It's my retail therapy day when I can touch it, feel the quality & try it before I buy it. And all the fun in between. As guys this is foreign territory. But it's just the way we're wired.

    If current trends continue, will anyone ever leave the house unless it's on fire?

    As for McD's ........if I was in power I'd ban them. **** food. Lazy parents. Fat kids.

    ""Soon,no one will have a job to buy off the robot,who's selling the stuff & the robot will be signing on. 10,000 jobs gone in a week.""

    most of those jobs paid poverty wages, get just as much on the dole. 

    ""Hilarious,that.""

    too true.

    So everyone on 'poverty wages' should pack in & sign on?

    What a great outlook some folk have!

    Low skilled jobs = low paid wages.

    Train for something better to increase your salary,obv'.

    Or ,as you suggest,sign on the rest of your life & wallow in self pity & tax payers handouts.

    This is actually an interesting debate, I had to check I was on the right website.

    I agree with ToffeeCup's epic post a lot.


    We as a country are precarious, we don't produce enough except expertise, and that's debatable.  Also, with the ARM infrastructure being kicked to the side, that's another thing we no longer skim off.

    There needs to be, in my opinion, a closed border to trade, and if you want to peddle your tat in the UK, you pay UK corporation tax and comply with tax laws on all transactions within the borders, and do so at point of sale, not after you've thrown £11bn over to switzerland as 'expenses'.

    That the government says it can't do this makes them out to be incompetent, or liars, or both.  Which seems eminently plausible with the current people in the 'commons'.

    The city centre is a different issue.  I think there is still a place for clothing retail, I won't buy clothes or shoes till I have seen them and tried them on.  The rest I would suggest is slashed in price to encourage small businesses.  I would like a butchers in my city centre.  This would be more farmers' market style, but with a fixture.  The rest will be leisure of some sort, though I am at Caffe Nero saturation point round my way!
