Debenhams - since 1779 
Dotty Ps
Top Shop - all gone 

[jaypo]

There will be no high street shops left soon,BHS,House of Fraser and they say John Lewis is struggling too

[sheila99]

And then there's the Amazon ads on TV - get your Xmas shopping done quick before the shops are open...
I have no desire at all to visit the shops but if we don't more will close.

[Sparrow]

We have one brand new shop, opened on out little high street.  It's a delicatessen so hopefully it will do well.

As for the big chains and stores, I fear this is just the start.  Those that were struggling will be finished off by the never-ending lockdown.

Off out to Christmas shop locally tomorrow.

Not 4 much longer  we'll all need to start knitting and sewing again 

[sheila99]

Primark will still be there. Apart from McDonald's it's the only one that's crowded when every other shop is empty.

[jaypo]

Yes come on sheila with all that sheep,start knitting    I'll have a jumper for my Xmas thanks

[CLKD]

I need knee length socks that last !

[sheila99]

You wouldn't want one that I knitted. The last attempt had one arm normal length and the other one suitable for a gibbon. So as long as your knuckles scrape along the ground...
Socks are beyond me.

[CLKD]

That's a shame. 

[jaypo]

Yes yes,that's fine for me Sheila 

[CLKD]

The gibbon one makes room for 2 goats.  Probably ?

Debenhams web-site overwhelmed 

[jaypo]

I always loved Debenhams,good quality clothes at a pretty reasonable price,so I'm sad they're going,don't know where I'll get the choice of clothes that they had.......big sad

[sheila99]

Since M&S left Debenhams was the only big department store left. It's going to be horribly empty now  . I hate online clothes shopping, more things don't fit than do and often they just don't look as good as you think they will. It's fine for 'standard' items like a TV or washing machine but every clothes store seems to have a different fit (and so many seem to think all women are short and fat  ).
