Combination of very difficult trading conditions and tinternet shopping is killing the high street shops.

Agreed. People take their 'smart phone' out with them, see in the shop what they want to buy, go on-line, see what/where the cheapest price is, & then buy it from them. The high street is used as a showroom/catalogue

What is a smart phone , I haven't even got a mobile?

Despite having a rubbish 3G network and expensive broadband, Spain has the biggest number of smart phone users-  (apparently) in Europe.

It doesn't bode well for the high street as per the other thread. It will just end up being a catalogue store place with coffee shops and amusement parks or revert to housing...........

but some do still like to own the album/CD

Here's a thought...

When all of the national and multi-national chains have either gone bust or moved out to malls and out of town retail parks and the tumbleweed is blowing down Britain's high streets, might it not be an opportunity for small niche businesses to set up shop there instead?  Then the high streets might become interesting places to visit and towns might regain some individuality rather than the boring indentikit town and city centres that we have at the moment. 

Of course the rents and business rates would have to drop drastically, but tumbleweed dosn't stop to shop!! 

[tunnie]

As expected really, not enough demand anymore. Streaming movies from LoveFilm, music streaming from Spotify or Grooveshark. Music collections from iTunes & so on, means little use for high street shops.

Yes some still buy the hardware, but that number is very small & its shrinking fast!

They should stop or at least drop the parking fees , most including myself dont go into town because of the price of parking
