    How about this:

    Do we really want to pay £24.99 for a Blu-Ray in HMV when we can get it for £17.99 from Amazon?

    We can't have our cake and eat it. We all want the benefits of online shopping but without losing the charm of the high street outing. Can't have everything. Shoppers are currently holding all the power, they and they alone will decide the fate of the high street. What do we do? Force shops to sell for less and see their profits fall? Ban online shopping? There is no simple answer. I think a better system of business rates might be a good start, help shops get some of their overheads down so that they can seriously start competing with the web.
