This has surely been coming for years though.

Still, I usually buy cd's from there so that's a pain.

Jeez pretty soon we'll all be limited to Tescos, Sainsburys, Amazon -- everyone else will be closed! And then Tescos/Sainsburys will start putting their prices up faster than inflation -- oh sorry, they do that already. OH and poor old Amazon makes no profits so has no taxes to pay honest!

The topic at work today was a "solar flare" now we are due one at anytime!!! And if that happened the shit would hit the fan!

The point of that being that everything is going electronic. Say goodbye to your electronic money in the bank etc.

What I will never understand is this........ Curry's, buy online and collect instore, it is cheaper, buy instore and they cannot match the online price, its still the same company!!! Pets at home is another example, reserve your goods online, collect and pay instore, and it's cheaper, buy instore and they cannot match the online price even when they don't have to pick the goods for you and have them ready at the till!........................

Giant supermarkets and greedy landlords! But they don't sell what I want to listen to. Welcome back to broken Britain. Who's next?

I don't see a problem in what they did, if the loophole exists, it is just good business sense to use it. I'm surprised the general public ever found out!

I agree with Tom's point, the highstreets will go but it just means tesco will spread further out and dominate everything! However, I like tesco so I don't mind so much.

HMM where a product of there own management. They didn't change their model and adapt to the way the world works now. Going bust is inevitable if you blindly carry on doing what you have always done.

I disagree with supermarkets being banks, insurers etc, but it seems like they are the only business left that are able to look at the world and provide what people want - convenience and low prices.

Somewhere around Swindon

Its a sad situation really, i quite like popping out to shops however recently i have encountered to many "i could not give a fuck" store assistants.

Swindon has also got quite alote of shops closed and with 800 jobs going at Honda its looking really bleak here.

I don't see how this is the govenments fault. Their business model was flawed, nowt to do with global recession, just people not shopping there. Do we really want our taxes propping up shops just so we can buy a CD?

This might restore the independant music shops, which is only a good thing.

I thought this too, however I was never sure if the salespersons were not on some form of commision; if you buy online and simply collect, they don't have this additional cost which they have passed onto the customer?
