 Save the High Street - bathtub tom
>>The demise of the traditional High Street in favour of edge of town retail parks and online ordering is the best thing that has happened to shopping in recent decades.

Not for me. I used to go to the town once a week on market day for fruit, veg, meat and eggs, have a pint and pub lunch (sometimes 'spoons).

I stopped going early in lockdown due to the number of folk at the market who weren't wearing masks and were picking up the produce and handling it. SWMBO's CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) and we were being very cautious

Our local edge-of-town retail park is accessed either by a road that's been made into a traffic jam by bus lanes, Morrisons, ALDI and pedestrian controlled traffic lights, or a traffic light controlled junction that has thirteen (yes 13) sequences. Fortunately I can get to a Tesco click-n-collect a couple of miles away without any hassle as long as I don't go near the school in or out times.
