Yeah, like, well, I've got to be honest, I was more concerned about the bank machines.
00:05
I don't sort of come into town as much as I used to. I find it, you know, a bit too
00:10
busy for me, but I prefer my online shopping, but then obviously we all like to start the
00:15
day where we're just like, right, it's a me day, you know.
00:18
We were just about to go to Wilko, and we were like, oh, I wish that was still open.
00:22
But, yeah, a lot of shops are shut, and in the centre as well, there's a lot of them,
00:27
and some of them just move around a lot. I think it's the cost of living, like the rent,
00:31
you know, is increasing, and shops are really struggling.
00:34
I don't know if everyone gets it, but I quite like just kind of crossing over and going,

00:49
get a book or something like that. I quite like just kind of high street shops, and I
00:53
quite like the humbleness of them. There's something in there, like a big kind of, like
00:57
megalithic structure of a Tesco.
