I see my local council and others repeatedly keep attempting to revitilize the high street with each and every instance being a complete waste of time, effort and more importantly money.
The heady days of 70s/80s busy high streets are now just history as the high street of today are nothing but coffee places, take aways and charity shops.
It has been decades since I have bought a magazine from Smiths (the last one I can remember was Bizarre, and that must have been 20+ years ago) or the like as 95% of my reading material is all digitial with the other 5% being books bought from ebay or charity shops.
Should Smiths close, my only concern is where will the post offices go that are now housed in them or will this be something those who buy the stores will need to carry on?

The high street is simply dead.

@Damo thanks for the reply
Thought it might be worth asking.
Re: Tech Boffins Are Simulating The Raster Scanning Of Old-School CRTs On Modern Hardware
Speaking as a total non-tech head, with this in place, would it be possible to use old school light guns which need a crt to work on modern TVs?

Not the first time it has been the inspiration for a game, though, is it?
There was the original Rocky Horror Show released by CRL way back in 1985 for the Speccy, C64, Amstrad and the Apple II.
