However to get back on topic it's a shame that people are losing jobs in one area but perhaps the alternative chains will step up and provide more jobs as the larger retailers cut back as they lose their market share to those alternative retailers.

Obviously from where you live you can't be that far away from places like Gosport , Fareham and villages like Stubbington and Titchfield , etc , etc.
Anyway back on topic as well yes it would be nice if some of these smaller alternative chains would come forward and provide more jobs as personally l love the more personal friendly way they talk to their customers and treat them as yes its a little bit dearer sometimes but often the product and service is better.
