  As you say Nigel, there are many reasons why shops close, but in most cases, it must basically be because they don't have enough customers and their costs are too high.
  
  Rent and rates do play a big part of their costs; maybe Cross's weren't selling what their customers wanted, maybe their prices were too high, maybe a discount, perhaps like some sort of Loyalty Scheme (now there's a thought), even if only amongst other local businesses.
  
  As I used to say many times and of course it is so true: USE IT OR LOSE IT - and we're losing it (the High Street).
