MVC (part of the Woolworths bankruptcy) were quite good for DVDs and CDs but only in comparison to many other truly awful retailers. Fopp (now in with HMV's titanic debt) were pretty cool for CDs.

I think people have a rose-tinted view though. Yes, cool in the 1980s going to Tower, HMV, Virgin Megastore -used to go around Glasgow and Edinburgh meself. But that was when this place was all fields. Now, the Internet is king and it has been ever since I bought my first item from it around 1995 I think. I used my local library for £1 per hour (which was cheap then) and they wheeled out the trolley with a washing-machine-sized PC on it and away I went. No looking back.

The Internet has giving us amazing buying opportunities because of information. We now hold all we seek in a few seconds' search. Only this week I've bought from France, Germany, the US and Australia. And what choice! The high street is shit. It always has been and the only difference now is we're all paying for all those bad debts from those crap companies' loans. Saying that it's odd when I visit quite large towns and the only people selling DVDs is charity shops. Such is life!

If you guys can't find what you want on the Internet you either have severe learning difficulties or you're buying the wrong stuff. Of course going into 'shops' is important for some food, some types of clothes and large white goods like fridge-freezers (just so you can check the doors and types of shelving -then go home and get it off the Internet).

And don't mention call centres
