The high street doesn't really serve any purpose for me

You're a tiny portion of the demographic.

I don't feel like such shops can make enough physical, rather than online sales

..hence the the argument for the 'death of the high street'

which is probably due to people up north having lesser disposable income.

What?

Care to elaborate on which magical hat of imaginary statements you came up with that from?

Maybe here:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/regionalaccounts/grossdisposablehouseholdincome/bulletins/regionalgrossdisposablehouseholdincomegdhi/2015

Of the NUTS1 regions in 2015, London had the highest GDHI per head where, on average, each person had £25,293 available to spend or save. Northern Ireland had the lowest at £15,913. This compares with a UK average of £19,106.

Yes, I read that. It's a 2015 census. Doesn't specifically highlight where, and actually shows growth in the NE.

Comparisons to London are also pointless as I'm guessing, they flatline when you take living costs into consideration.
