High Street shopping was always a pain in the butt. Most of the shops only open when you are at work, often a limited supply of goods if you didn't live in one of the big cities and fewer and fewer places you could park the car. Let alone the crowds and salespeople who were all over you like a rash if you went in to browse and then steadfastly refused to meet your eye if you wanted to buy something.
Internet shopping is a marvellous experience, virtually every available and obscure product you could wish to buy delivered to your door in a day or two at cheap prices. Bricks and mortar shops will survive and thrive, but only those who deserve to do so by offering a good and knowledgeable service. It is the inefficient and the cowboys who will disappear.
