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 ???
