Is your High Street any good?
Discussion
I strolled down the high st here in the Netherlands
I could buy cheese.
At the supermarket I can also buy cheese.
It's all they ferkin eat.
The situation back home in Luton also see's me avoiding the high street, however there's enough specialist food shops that I can buy jsut about anything. Often spoilt for choise, when you walk in a shop and there's half a dozen varieties of sweet potato life can get confusing.

Our High St / Main St is currently pretty good
Two Butchers (One multiple award winning)
Three Bakers (One award winning)
One small grocery store & One small Tesco
Although how long this continues for I don't know as for some reason some folks in the town have taken it upon themselves to call for a "farmers market" (The reasons for this is other towns have them and we don't)
This brings in an outside butcher & outside baker amongst the handfull of stalls in direct competition with out local "rate paying" shops. The local butcher already sells local eggs & veg along with his meat and there is an abundance of established farm shops in the area. All I see them doing is taking up valuable parking spaces on Saturday whilst I visit my local shops.
