I think that you will have to explain this sad situation to us hector, instead of the other way around.     :)

I think it's a bit of everything Dennis, being able to buy on line, being able to buy most things at the supermarket, and yes being able to park out of town, most towns in England have a lack of parking, and what they have got costs an arm and a leg to park. And also the recession doesn't help anyone.

yes it's been happening here in Brisbane for some years as well.The big shopping malls are taking the monopoly.The high street shops(AS you call them) are being turned into trendy resturaunt strips.Our high street shops are the old tram terminus strips,left over from the days when we had a tramcar network.It's been gone since 1969 & the shops have been slowly dwindling since then.There is a lot of discussion about how to utilise these old buildings.So many of them are standing vacant it seems a waste.

Well another big chain store has gone for broke,H.M.V, following Comet,a Big sports strore chain, Walworth,and others to follow,and you cannot park in our towns without getting a ticket,
