I blame scandelous rents charged by landlords, then out out of date trading laws that restrict Sunday trading hours.

I the late 80's I worked for W.H.Smith Do It All, I worked 9 till 6 on Sundays along with colledge students, now I can buy something on Saturday and get it delivered on Sunday before the shops open.

Thats why the high street is suffering.
