Maybe someone else has already come up with this? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54669#post-157932 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 17:05:01 +0000 beau-jolly 157932@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>ID: Try suggesting free parking to any local council! Its one of their biggest incomes. They could not give a toss about the High Street as long as there is enough in the coffers to pay their pensions - Useless bastards! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54669#post-157924 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:26:19 +0000 dvo4fun 157924@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep, I still support our vilage blacksmith though I'm running out of places to keep the ornamental steel and horseshoes. Perhaps if I owned a horse and didn't live in a flat ... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54669#post-157912 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:56:56 +0000 Ironduke 157912@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Anything but the triumph of market forces would amount to protectinism and ultimately fail.</p> <p>Joined up thinking though of removing impedence to High Street shopping would be sensible. When we holidayed in Normandy I didn't pay a penny to park the car in any town anywhere.</p> <p>It works for Supermarkets; free convenient parking would also improve High Street footfall nationwide. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54669#post-157836 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:37:57 +0000 Gerontius 157836@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>that's the High Street pretty much gone now<br /> at least all the on-line shoppers will be able to listen to their downloads/watch their DVDs/wear their new clothes all day long now they don't have a job to go to<br /> save a couple of pounds and lose your job - not exactly the greatest use of the internet so far<br /> the only ones left are the tax dodgers </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54669#post-157832 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:24:32 +0000 Scroat 157832@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>LOL.
