    Yeah the save the planet brigade I recon most of them are shopping online and helping to cause the problem with packaging, transport cost etc adding to global warming. Get ones backside into gear and go to the shops I say.
    Its the old saying I think everybody knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

    But then all that tat still has to get to the shop to be sold in the first place, the staff have to travel to it to work in it, the punters have to travel to it to buy from it. The shop has to be lighted, heated and have fixtures and fittings (that they are always changing). Home delivery where one bloke drives round in one van and drops everything off actually uses less resources -assuming enough people are doing it. Which they are.

    But the alternative is horribly boarded up high streets, people losing there jobs and who wants that ?. Whats nicer than going to a shop and seeing what your interested in rather than looking at a soulless screen.

    I've never liked shopping, I hate going to the shops in fact so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

    As for the boarded up shops I think we are in a transition phase at the moment where people think 'The High Street' will somehow revive, but it won't. Once that is realised change of use will be granted and they'll all be ripped down or converted into accommodation.

    For me there will be no reason to go up to Belfast if HMV goes, there just aren't enough shops there now to draw me up.

    Who would ever have thought people would buy the Emperors New Clothes, pay for something you don't actually own, or exists. I hate it
    My thought as well , Pay for something invisable , not be able to sell it on ,cant hold it etc etc

    And streaming saves a heck of a lot of plastic production.
