Do you still use the high street?

I'm afraid i won't be able to offer you anything for them once the added expenses have been sorted. The £200 value you see, would have to be used to pay for the postage costs, along with envelope duty, letterbox tax, and a few other minor necessities.

By taking them off your hands however, i will be providing a quality voucher recycling service, and you'll be left with feeling of total bliss knowing that they will be in a far better place.

Pfft. Feelings. :lol:

High street, pretty much never. Supermarkets, shopping centres and retail parks yes. The high street's time is almost up. If it does have a future it consists of restaurants, hairdressers and funeral services, just stuff you wouldn't do only online. Although I guess funeral services has online only potential.

Wander around the Metro Centre every now and again with an idea of gooseberry fool I need, always clothing. That’s about it, everything else is online.

No.

Just no.

I still buy stuff from the high street, but there's hardly anywhere in Birmingham that isn't some sort of chain store now, if you want anything unique, you have to go online for it or somewhere that actually has shops that aren't just copy and paste ones.

Yeah, for clothes and furnishings. Occasionally games but generally just to look at things in those shops.

I still like the feeling of going to buy something that you really want, it has more appeal than just waiting at home for something to arrive although I find that exciting aswell when it’s somthing like a new console

Yes I love the high street

Did you take those photos?

I doubt it, the image info suggests they are all from different sites.

Oh, I was going to say how good they were

The Regent St one is poor anyways, it looks to have been digitally edited and the overall blurriness makes for a terrible shot.

The Harrods one is decent, as getting that shot from the right angle, whilst keeping the camera still (long exposure needed) is difficult enough, let alone having to deal with the crowds and traffic you find at that location.

In Stoke the major retailers have abandoned the high street, half are boarding up and the rest are betting shops, e-cigs and pound stores.

Restaurants have replaced a lot of the shops that closed during the recession, and it's become a great place to eat out lately.

The retail park and the main shopping centre are really popular too.

That's exactly how I imagined Stoke to look.

It's fairly mixed, the south of the city is lovely...

The north, not so much...

I drive through Stoke a lot and it’s not like any other place I drive through, it has loads of strange domed pedestrian bridges and step walls at either side of road some with mirrors on them, I always lose my dab signal aswell, I do like visiting the potteries like Wedgewood and I have been to the retail parks

I wandered into a CEX yesterday and I really wasn't keen. The games cases generally appeared to be in poor condition and it doesn't help when there are huge price stickers on them. The second-hand equipment seemed quite pricey, too. I wouldn't rush back.

I quite like CEX, there's one around the corner from our high street and it's quit nostalgic seeing boxed 90s consoles in the windows.

Stoke still uses smoke signals, they haven't even got MW radio yet.

They have a cinema though, that's more than what there is around here.
