Don't worry about it Badboy, as long as we vote to stay in the EU there will be jobs for all. Cameron more or less promises us this. Mind those jobs will be in countries such as Swizerland who aren't in the club, yet still have a hefty trade balance wiht the EU. I do not deny that if we vote to get out, it will be a rocky road for a couple of years; but the bnefits to us will more than make up for it.

BHS HAS COLLAPSED WITH 11,000 JOBS,THERE IS A LOT OF FOUL-MOUTHED BLAME.

KANTAR HAS PREDICTED THAT A POSSIBLY MAJOR NAME ON THE HIGH STREET CONCERNING FASHION/CLOTHING MAY COLLAPSE AS CLOTHING/FASHING SPENDING HAS COLLAPSED BY £700 MILLION EQUAL TO WHAT SOME OF THESE FIRMS MAKE IN A YEAR.

DWP IS TO CLOSE SOME JOB CENTRES,HOW IRONIC!

Badboy ,so many people just go online and buy what they want ,shops are becoming a thing of the past.Overheads are expensive for renting a shop,and rates for council ,have to sell a lot of goods to make it work . joyce1938

Much indeed most of the blame lies with our greedy councils continually pushing up business premisses rates, restricting access into our city centres for motor vehicles, car parks forever increasing charges to a ridiculous level, bus fares increased and horrendous traffic jams both entering and leaving the city... Why bother to struggle with inner cities when shopping malls on the outskirts have free car parks and cheaper goods for sale.

MY OCAL COUNCIL HAVE BEEN CRITISED FOR INCREASING CAR PARK CHARGES,THE LOCAL OUT OF TOWN SHOPPING CENTRE CAR PARKS HAVE ACTUALLY EVERY CAR PARK SPACE TAKEN.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT RATES AND RENT IN OUR SHOPPING CENTRE ARE COMMONPLACE, MAY EXPLAIN WHY DE'S EASY DINER HAS DISAPPEARED.
SRRVICES LIKE RESTAURANTS,NAIL SHOPS,CHARITY SHOP/BETTING SHOPS SEEM TO HAVE TAKEN OVER SHOPPING CENTRES/HIGH STREETS.

ONLINE SALES IN UK HAVE INREASED TO 8.5MILLION,ONLY COUNTING THE TOP RETAILERS, AO.COM AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
33 OUT OF RESTAURANTS CHAINS ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY WITH PEOPLE NOT EATING AT RESTAURANTS AND HIGH COSTS LIKE RENT AND RATES.
MY LOCAL COUNCIL IS BUILDING ANOTHER OUT OF TOWN RETAIL CENTRE LIKELY TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF TOWN CENTRE.

talked to a hairdresser ,SAID NEXT IS ALWAYS HAVING CUTPRICE SALES,SO EVERYONE WAITS FOR A SALE,KNOWING PRICES WILL DROP.
NEW LOOK ARE HAVING PROBLEMS.
WILL THE LAST PERSON TO LEAVE THE HIGH STREET PLEASEE TURN OFF THE LIGHTS

HOUSE OF FRASER /DEBENHAM AND H/M ARE ALL IN TROUBLE.

Overcharging and false accounting is often the problem with these places.

NEW LOOK ARE ALSO IN TROUBLE,PROFITS DOWN.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR THE HIGH STREET AS I READ IN AN ONLINE GUARDIAN ARTICLE THAT MORE SHOPPERS DESERT THE HIGH STREET EVEN AS WAGES INCREASE,MORE HIGH STREET BUSINESES ARE FEELING THE STRAIN AND MORE JOBS POTENTIALLY WILL BE LOSED.
