I hadn't thought of Tescos because the supermarkets have become so much an out of town thing, I don't see them as high st shops.

I suspect my picking of Clintons has a lot to do with an article I read during the last recession about card shops springing up where everything else failed - anything goes wrong in life, send a card. :-)

Currys for the same reasons as the furniture shops - I suspect a lot of people will realise they can manage without that new widescreen TV and I had got the impression they were struggling anyway.
