A plan with no drawbacks!
But yeah, some of the massive 4K OLED/QLED stuff they have on display is fantastic to look at.

Moggy wrote:The HMV store in Bristol recently halved in size and I wouldn’t say it looked very busy whenever I walk past it. I occasionally use it, but only when I have forgotten to buy somebody a birthday present and have to pick up a DVD quickly before a family member discovers just how unorganised I am. I would imagine lots of older people going there for gifts for the grandkids, but that is a diminishing market. Streaming and downloading will eventually kill off HMV.

The current trend would suggest that the answer is no.

This is a British consumer issue. Why we insist on going into Costa every day and drinking their piss when there's a small coffee shop nearby that serves a decent cup of coffee is mind boggling.
Everyone should try their best to not eat, drink or shop at chains. They're the number one destroyers of the highstreet. There's plenty of business if you're not having to pay fat cats and shareholders.

I think i'm just a bit old school to be honest, i still use mainly cash for transactions, i don't bank online, i prefer physical media to digital, and i buy most of my goods in real life stores.
Most days i only use my smartphone for calls, texting, and candy crush.

I'm pretty sure it's so they can dodge tax

Ah my bad, I've corrected it, I meant to say only took cash.
I find myself using Android pay for the vast majority of payments now.
