00:05Erm...

00:06Yeah!

00:08Yeah, I think a lot of things are killing our High Street.

00:11It very much depends what you want.

00:13If you want food and local gifts and things,

00:15High Street's fabulous, but if you want bigger things,

00:18you can't get them, necessarily.

00:20So you have to go out of town.

00:22Are you worried about the High Street in the future?

00:24Yes.

00:25If you've got a car, you're going to go there

00:27cos you're going to get cheaper stuff.

00:29The High Street's something different, isn't it?

00:56Yeah, I think I prefer a little village.

00:58Like Westbury Village.
