Lol canny the luddite not changing with the times (typical remoaner :gigglesnshit: )

Have a quick read about how retail is changing. Of course you could carry on with your absurd position that high street footfall is down because of brexit and not because online is where its at now (record figures). Try and read a bit more widely. You are trying to rebuild your credibility.

Clearly you needed to ignore this bit.....

"Rocketing food inflation and uncertainty about the outlook for the UK economy have sent retail sales tumbling to their first year-on-year fall since 2013.

Food prices, which were 3.5% higher than a year earlier, helped push the volume of goods bought in shops and online down by 0.3% from October 2016."

After all, changing with the times does include ONLINE SALES, does it not ???

UK car sales fall for eighth month in a row

Sales slumped by 11.2% last month to 163,541 vehicles, putting the industry on course for the first drop in annual sales since 2011. New car sales in the first 11 months of 2017 were down by 5% at 2.39m.

“An eighth month of decline in the new car market is a major concern, with falling business and consumer confidence exacerbated by ongoing anti-diesel messages from government,” said Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the industry trade body.

I assume that you are aware that the reason people come out today in the (usually vain) hope of a genuine bargain is that this is the only time they can afford to buy?

However, rather than fall for the ridiculous over-hype of moron's comics, try the memory of the large London store opening it's doors on Black Friday - to be greeted by one bloke who simply strolled in and had a leisurely look around.

Black Friday - the true meaning of a Tory government organised Brexit....


Lol. Ignoring the record retail figures then cannydc. :pmsl:

I thought you were trying to rebuild your credibility. :gigglesnshit:


Record retail figures :pmsl: :pmsl: :pmsl:

Have a fucking word with yourself !!!

I have bought most stuff online this year and a few bits locally and I live nowhere near Bury St Edmunds.

Toys R Us’ falling sales are the latest in a string of dismal results from companies that have relied heavily on brick-and-mortar locations, as consumers increasingly shift their shopping to online retailers like Amazon.


They have an online shopping choice too.
Amazon seem to have cornered the market for discount prices though.
This is a consequence of the lower standard of living for the general public, a need to cut down spending wherever possible.


Their out dated business model was heavily bricks and mortar based. They did not innovate their online presence enough to counteract their outdated stores.

Spending is highest it has ever been. Not saying that is good or bad.


I agree they were on the back foot with their online presence.
It's a shame the stores are closing though, it's a new era for online goods.
Soon we won't need to leave our homes at all. :yikes:

Not good is it?


Well its already not good if the only thing you leave your house for is shopping. Those of us who enjoy leaving the house for myriad of other things are quite pleased as it frees up more time to do those things.


Typical man. :snooty:
