I've Got It
The UK High Street has been dying for a few years now - anyone remember Woolworths, 99 years trading and then went bust?!

Sadly more and more shops are closing as increasing costs and the fact that we all want everything for less. The only market place that seems to be growing is the internet, for High Street chains what they tend to be doing is closing vast amounts of 'bricks and mortar' stores and improving their eCommerce offering.

The latest UK company to start closing stores is Game and a member of staff at one of their stores wrote this song:

 
I was sad seeing No Frills DIY going and then Focus, now the only place I can get paint and tools from is either the local hardware who doesnt stock everything they used to or pay a fortune at Wickes :( I can understand why its happening with having a business online is much easier to run at least I think so, less employees needed for customer services and things like that, you dont even really need an office, you can do things from home if need be.
