I'm guessing (and I stress that it is just a guess) that the majority of people can be divided into those of us who are totally comfortable with shopping online and another group that simply won't do it for whatever reason. I suspect the latter group is larger, and while that will change over time, the question is will retailers want to cut themselves off from that?
As an example, Dixons have moved online only and actually have some really good prices. People who are comfortable with buying online will be happy to use them, people who are less happy will prefer to use Dixons (a well known retailer who they trust) rather than a pure online retailer that they haven't heard of. People who won't use the internet are reducing in number and will have to pay the price - either with the big retailers who decide to keep their shops or with independant shops who don't need the high volume sales to keep going.0 -

Not half, 32 out of 150. See: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=akBc7pBL4bhU&refer=uk
The 118 remaining (probably the best performing on the best leases) will continue to trade under the new owners.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?
