I'm surprised it isn't greater. I saw a story at the weekend suggesting 2 in every 5 Christmas Presents bought this year will be bought online.
andrew	I hope Paperchase are the next to go for bowing down to snowflakes. Heard that Card Factory have improved over the years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-42057493
Spee	My friend in the US walks into her local foodstore, takes several items from the shelves - and leaves with them in her bag, without interacting with anyone. Her credit card (of which the store has details) is automatically debited - and she receives a itemised list via the internet. When initially registering for the service, she was provided with a fob which activates when she enters - verifying who she is. And the items taken are recorded by in-store wi-fi. Impersonal now enters retail...
JK2006	Yes and further compounds total lack of interpersonal contact; these days internet clicks are "friends". As a species we have "lost it".
Spee	And pubs are closing at a rate of 24 a week. One in three are gone, since the seventies. Most of us now buy our booze in the supermarket.
