At a bit of a tangent, I have to wonder how much more stuff people can
actually buy though.


shrugs dunno - but living to the East of London, the necessary evil of
"shopping" is a bit of a trek - either to the West End, or all the way
over to Westfield in Shepherd's Bush. Having this on my doorstep (and in
my case, actually within a 15 minute walk from my house) will make it a
bit less of a chore. This will bring a pretty extensive shopping centre
within a very short journey of literally millions.


I tend to find that the unwillingness of shops to stock anything and
having to get it all through Amazon has resulted in there being less
difference between my local shops and West End/large shopping centre,
ie you can't get anything anywhere.
