You may jump on a train and start following me around with my shopping bags.

A Christmas shoppings bag lady, there's a difference.

Avoid buying clothes with horizontal lines, I'm told it makes you look fat.

Jeez that was a bit uncalled for I must say - try and be helpful and thats what you get ..... bit like what you get with asylum seekers.

There's nothing wrong with corduroy, so why would you assume that people who wear it are incontinent?

I'm more concerned with why people would think I'm incontinent.

Lol. Canny read a book and learn about correlation you lightweight. Then ask what is causing reduced footfall in market towns? Online shopping or brexit.

Then look at like for like internet sales and see they are on the up.

No need to thank me i already have a warm glow.

Sorry but you completely missed the point.

Last year at the same time we had the announcement that Bury St Edmunds was buzzing and the shops were heaving - presumably to bolster the idea that the Brexit uncertainties were having no effect. Turned out to be untrue, sales were down then, and yes, we had internet shopping then too...

Less and less are tempted by their tatty 'offers' or 'sale which must end Monday'.

However, to answer your precise point, market towns tend to be old fashioned with smaller businesses who aren't online and rely on regular passing trade.

And when next quarters rents are due in January we shall see casualties.

You failed to make your point clearly. Wasnt worth waiting for though tbf. Imo.

Ok, I went to Solihull and the car parks were mostly full, so it seemed promising but the shops weren't all that packed. No big queues at the tills like most Sunday's leading up to Christmas. So, quieter than previous years but still busy for a Sunday.
I bought a nice sleeveless blue sequinned top and skirt. Was pleasantly surprised that I've gone down a size from all the Zumba I've been doing. Is that enough detail or do you want to know what I ate?

(Turkey and cranberry pie with mash and minted peas).

Thank you.
