hearthammer Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 If you go past the pubs, coffee houses, cafes, bookies, burger outlets, sandwich bars,tanning salons and co-op funeral places then i'm sure you'll be delighted with your choice of real food outlets or shops on any high street.

Gaz FFC Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Tried to move away from online shopping as much as I can. Don't buy my groceries online - go to Asda Buy most of my clothes when I'm in the States. I try and source stuff I want in shops rather than go online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You hear a lot of folk complaining that there's nothing on the high street that they're interested in anymore, but exactly what kind of shops are people referring to? Woolworths, BHS, C&A? Genuinely curious. I guess I miss looking round some of the independent entertainment-based shops you used to get dotted about most towns, but that's only until I remember how much more variety and choice there is online. Other than that, shopping was a chore. At least you can do it in your pants in front of the telly these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Have never bought groceries online, prefer to see what I'm buying. I like to shop around especially where the supermarkets are concerned. Morrisons butchers for lorne sausage , Charity shops for books, Poundland for various crap, McColls for a nice morning roll. Very few independent traders left here sadly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retail park was the final nail in the coffin. Not as bad as Callendar Square, though. First time I went in there, it was so empty that I figured it must have just opened. Turned out it'd been there for three years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifesto is a shit hole. Overpriced and occasionally pre-worn and returned to the hanger clothing. No thanks. Gazeleys is brae. The chilli sauce and pakora. Grossetts for most of the butcher needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
