    Another problem for the High Street's future is the sheer power of television advertising. A vast fortune is spent on this, and it creates a market, an appetite for the goods/bargains shown. This appetite is hardly ever serviced by the nations High Street anymore, but is serviced by out of town shopping centres full stop. Just look at the power advertisers, the ones with the vast budgets..B&Q, Morrisons, Tesco, Carpet stores etc...and 19.5 times out of 20 they are located in out of town shopping estates like the one at Whitfield. Its a powerful thundering galloping horse already long out of the stable.
    Sadly the High St has no answer for this. And it is sad, as nobody wants to see barren town centres.

    I saw the new B&Q up at Whitfield for the first time over the weekend...its just a barn in a field, but its up there with other barns and is likely to do well.
