Internet sales tax and high street business

[Dumbo]

It's a massive problem and I'm all for the high street and supporting local shops

I agree with you fully . As long as they aren't taking the wee wee . For instance when I got my 3e3m I could of got it £50 cheaper but instead I got it from one of my local tile stores .

I get more enjoyment buying online. Researching the products, procrastinating, comparing, pricing up etc.

Actually visiting a shop isn’t my idea of fun. I think this stems from years of being dragged round clothes shops as a child. Scarred for life.

Death of the high street? Good. It’s crap anyway. Revert back to independents. B0llocks to globalisation.

I'm sure she'll like the Brut 33 gift box just as much.

@Andystiletiling - ‘Stupid woman’ did you say it or just mouth it!

I think your opinion depends on what your into and what your spend your money on, if your into fashion and luxury items I'm sure you love to go shopping and see what's about and try stuff on etc. If your into tools, then there isn't really anywhere to go that sells exactly what you want - usually. If there was a tool warehouse that was priced inline with online then I'd be there, twice a day 😀

I agree with that. I was talking about general shopping as per the ‘high street’ term in the first post.

Axminster is my local tool place but it’s not that great and mainly caters for woodwork type tooling

I mouthed 'stupid woman' but obviously and without incriminating myself said 'stupid people' 😉
