npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I don't mourn the passing of the high street. The concept of having to go into 'town' once a week to try to find that particular thing you were looking for in a limited number of gloomy shops with surly staff - trying to find parking or suffering a miserable bus journey. No thanks.
Why shouldn't I sit at my laptop and choose from a variety of retailers all offering decent prices and delivery to my door?
OK it's not perfect - I'd rather see aggregated deliveries so there aren't multiple couriers along the same road every day, and rarely do I need next-day (or even this week) delivery.
Sure, town centres can survive as vastly scaled back destinations for specialist shopping, entertainment and 'experience' areas, but the town & city centres of previous decades are gone. Get over it!
