I don't think he was being blase (A bit too cynical though) about it. It is however a reality in the UK. Free market practices, followed by a collective 'I wonder why the high street is deserted' followed swiftly by Amazon et al opening mammoth operations in the middle of nowhere sucking everyone's easy money with prime deliveries.
Easy credit and aggressive advertising doesn't help in making fingers hit buttons easy. People will mostly chase a lower price, so that combination is deadly. Add new shit like black fucking Friday into the mix, and you can see where that road leads.

Nah, go fuck yourself with this chat. A deregulated society allows this, whereas there’s other countries in Europe where buying things online is so much of a pain in the ass that you’d rather support your local shop than deal with it.
