brighton town centre turning into a ruddy GHOST TOWN

[turienzo's lovechild]

former borders shop- empty
former zavvi shop- empty
former luggage shop or whatever it was- empty
former george shop- empty

4 massive sites smack bang in the centre of town all sitting there, it's turning into bloody CROYDON or sumfin :US:

Zavvi closing down was entirely their own fault from taking the perfectly NORMAL name Virgin Megastore and calling it ZAVVI.

It's Bozza's fault for making us all buy everything so much cheaper and from the comfort of our own homes on Amazon.co.uk to keep NSC running. When a discount store like Sussex Stationers/British Bookshops is struggling you know the high street's f***ed - apart from clothes shops (because people like to try things on) it'll all be online in a year or two I reckon.

all the clubs have been closed down....

Bookstores will disappear. You can get most for a fraction of the original price via Amazon and so on and the digital age of books is upon us. Sad.

Nah what's killing the likes of Zavvi/borders is the supermarkets as much as anything. People still love browsing ad the immediacy of buying something, taking it staight home and bunging it in the dvd/cd etc.

is the right answer. not sure since when Sussex Stationers has been a discount shop, i always thought it expensive.

The death of high street book and music shops is widely touted and its in their own hands. if they offer a service, ie provide knowledge, recommendations, a bit of helpfull friendliness, they will compete. if they dont people will go to amazon. Sadly, judging by my local Waterstones who start locking the doors at 5:20 in the evening, they arent that interested.

on a side note, why has there not been any decent music coming out of this economic STRUGGLE that we're currently in?
