Retail shops are feeling the pinch because buyers are using the internet more & more.
So I like to buy from local shops when I can.
Doesn't always prove to be an easy thing to do !
Wanting some blank CD-Rs, I soon found out that no shop stocks them in Gravesend.
This meant I had to journey to the Bluewater Shopping Centre about 3 towns away.
With Sony, Jessups, Currys all gone now, had to try HMV.
They didn't stock them either !
Finally ordered some on the internet !
Should have asked me, got loads from way back.
My local Currys still sells them, or did a few months ago. I think Robert Dyas does them too, or they did a few months ago.
