 Save the High Street - Lemma
Now that virus levels are rapidly declining and jabs are proceeding apace I felt I should support the High Street rather than online suppliers. I recently wanted a battery conditioner for my motorbike and checked online, Halfords were selling them at the same price as Amazon. i also wanted some cable ties to instal the connection that enables the battery to be charged without removing from the battery box.

I drove into town and popped into Halfords, couldn't find them on the shelf and enquired only to be told that they are only available online! I then went to Wickes to pick up some cable ties and the queue was very long. I gave up, went home and ordered from Amazon at the same price.

This morning I wanted a large tub of fertiliser for the garden, checked online and saw that a country store nearby stocked what I wanted at a sensible price. I drove there, only to find it was out of stock. Guess what, I ordered from Amazon at the same price.

Well, I tried. But I think there is theme here and in a competitive market experience, as ever, is a good teacher.
