All businesses have changed, that is why town centres are dying on their uppers....people shop differently, they travel differently...e-business has taken lots of trade away from the high st.

Public are buying goods, they just buy them in a different way now.

That is one of the prime reasons that Thomas Cook have suffered a downturn, well, that and the fact that when money is tight you don't spend on a foreign holiday.
Also a lot of the places that Thomas Cook took tourists to, are places where there has been civil unrest........do you want to holiday in a place where you could get blown up by a terrorist bomb? Or where there is an uprising....?No, well, surprising as it might seem, neither does anyone else, they would rather be safe and go to Bognor.
