I think the high Street as we know it is very swiftly becoming a thing of the past. Only those stores with a strong online presence are going to survive. But even those may not all survive as fixtures in every town.

I'll never forget you Woolworths!

Jamie's Italia is going under because charging Ł20 for a burger is unsustainable, no matter whose name it on it.

I agree about Jamie Oliver restaurants. A 20 quid burger with JO's hallmark stick through it isn't impressive. I once got something called 'Happy Chicken' at his Portsmouth restaurant and it was raw in the middle
