As much as I love high street shopping, it's now becoming a thing of the past. Have the local council and Trading Standards just noticed the "Closing Down" scam? It's mostly furniture and those tatty discount stores, mostly owned by Asians, that have never-ending closing-down sales.

Sports Direct seems to have a sale every day, their crappy footwear was never the RRP or original price.

Bournemouth has now lost Clintons, WHSmith and the Post Office, I wonder where the annoying druggie beggars will go now to loiter and ask for money in their aggressive tones?

Not a sale, no - just specific offers of all the best sporting merchandise; from Nike and Adidas to Puma.

Almost always at lower that RRP - that's why they've been so successful. Owned and operated by Mike Ashley.

Sales staff are linked to stockrooms, by WiFi - so service is ultra quick. And the product range is extremely large.

I suppose Sports Direct is good if you are a petty crook or a yob.

If wearing sports/leisure gear depicts you as such - the entire country is very easily categorised!
