Yep, we're past our sell by date indeed
oh, and I've just returned from a trip to the retail park - where I went round in circles in the queue for 5 minutes trying to get parked - then decided not to bother after all.
Yesterday I accompanied the wife into town, something I rarely do (I must be ill) and although it was free parking we had a choice of about 200 free parking bays.
My observation was that there is nothing left on the high street to tempt shoppers in any volume, and if retailers want to survive they need to move to where the footfall is. However, this in turn leads to a revenue loss for the landlords and local council . . and a financial loss to the council won't bode well for the supply (and cost) of services they provide.
It's a game eh, and we're all just playing it the best way we can
