O UR PROUD TOWN CENTRES ~ All are in decline
U NUSED Shops and empty empty Stores ~ I
R EMEMBER when the trade was fine
T HE SHOPS were full ~ wide open were the Doors !
O NE Store blames the INTERNET
W E ALL love to \"Shop on Line\"
N OTHING now \"on line\" ~ that we can\'t get
C HILDREN love it ~ think it\'s natural and fine !
E MPTY Stores and Empty Tables
N OWHERE to Park ~ too little Stock
T O COMPETE with WEB ~ we are not able
R ETAILERS move to faceless MALLS ~ en bloc !
E MPTY CENTRES in once thriving TOWNS
S EEMS like the INTERNET now wears OUR CROWN
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
There is an IRONY about the DEMISE of our Town & City
Centres ~ They are very very lively @ NIGHT ~ Which is
why I\'ve chosen Pet Clarke\'s DOWNTOWN as my video !
It was released 20 years before I was born but in essence
it is still as true to day. SENIORS don\'t like to go into Town
after dark it all seems so so aliens with scantily dressed
Girls and Tattooed Macho Lads and no one over 40 except
the Bouncers ! The late night Bars & Night Clubs do a
roaring in a Town that is like a morgue in the daytime !
The Big Stores like BHS ~ M & S and Fraser have all gone
replaced by Teen Fashion Shops ~ Art Shops and Arty
Coffee Shops with Barristers and coffee at £3 ($4) a cup !
Thee only things for Seniors are mournful & boring Charity
Shops ~ At least they have a free Bus Pass ! So fate has
decreed ~ Our Towns are DEAD in the DAY but alive and
vibrant @ NIGHT ~ Angela & I enjoy the Night Scene and
we both do a stint on the SOS Bus and are First~Aid trained.
How is it in Your Town ~ Do you stay in @ Night ! BRIAN XOX
The SOS BUS operates all night and is staffed by Volunteers
all first aid trained. Its main purpose is to get \"legless\"
Young Ladies off the street ~ patch them up and get them
safely Home. Both ANGELA & I need a First Aid Qualification
for our jobs. Angela us a Physiotherapist and I lead Field
Courses into Mountains etc ! We also have STREET PASTORS !
