A LOT has been said regarding the closures of the likes of Binns and M&S.
Price is a big factor, but with the advance of online shopping both with high street shops and supermarkets, we have become a lazy nation.
We tap away on our laptops, ordering, then when it arrives it’s not what we wanted, so it gets chucked aside.
We order something else, and before long we’ve run up a huge debt.
If we want to see high streets survive then get out there and enjoy the queuing and hustle and bustle like the rest of us.
As previously stated – use it or lose it.
