What with one store or another going to the wall it's beginning to look
an awful lot like a recession.


Or so many businesses getting too out of touch with what the customer
wants.

People still buy food, cloths, white goods etc. but many do not still use
the shops they may have done 10 years ago.

Today, I've sat in front of my computer and ordered goods on-line from 6
different retailers.


And I hardly ever by other than food in a physical store anymore
unless I must have it or would prefer to have it in a few minutes
instead of a few days or weeks in the case of aliexpress.
