I agree foxy. But then again, in a age of internet shopping, I suppose most departmental stores are heading down the pan. Locally, I would say we have a relatively decent variety of shops, however the prices may not reflect what sort of bargains you may be able to source elsewhere. I suppose that?s reflective of this sort of London neighbourhood these days. Maybe some people choose to ignore those economic aspects when it comes to living in the real world 😊 Louisa.
