The proliferation of chain stores across the country is turning the UK into a series of “clone towns”, a think tank has warned.
I have to agree completely with this BBC article. When over in London back in 2000, we were thinking the exact same thing, each high street had the same shops. I guess there is a degree of this here in Australia too, but for some reason it was just very visible in London. Support your local independent retailers – before it’s too late.
I haven’t found it so bad up here. The great thing about Scotland that I am finding is that there is no end to small stores. Very few malls, lots of little local strips!
