Retail therapy?

[Blue Duck]

With all the doom & gloom surrounding the decline of the British high street, (even the big orange shed is in trouble) I was thinking is there anywhere I like to go and shop?

Sadly, the answer is no, I cannot think of a single shop I want to go to even if they had a 90% sale.

Okay so I'm skint and have been for a few years.

Disposable income is a thing of the past for many people and I think that austerity has caused a lot the trouble on the high st despite a lot of the high streets problems being internal over financing issues.

So what do you guys think?

Is there a shop you like to spend money in?

Same here but where? 

Obviously there is screwfix and foolstation or in your case machine mart but I don't really see those as shopping more just write out a ticket get your stuff and go, when was the last time you asked a screwfix employee for advice? 

There are a few tool shops I used to go to but most are gone now or their prices are too high due to rents and business rates.

New Look’s shoe department.  But that’s because I know exactly what fits me in there so I can order it online if they don’t have my size in store. Hardly ever go in shops these days, 90% of my stuff I buy online.

PC World / Currys offered me £50 trade in for the old one .................... so my £75 is probably about right.

All my shopping at the moment is for building materials, kitchen and bathroom stuff etc.

Do you know how long it took to find a concealed lavatory cistern with a flush plate that the ladies of the house would accept?
