As local corner shops cant sell things as cheap as the big supermarkets
can - then as fuel costs increase - then the less you will save by
driving to the supermarket and back unless your doing a big weekly
shopping or whatever .

So , If you just need a 6-12 items , Then it could actually be cheaper
walking to a local corner shop to get what you want even if the items in
the local corner shop have a higher price tag .

Would you agree or disagree with that ? .

And if you do agree with it - then that must mean that the price of
petrol going up every week can only be a good thing - doesnt it .

Local shops:
Poor service
Small range of goods
Stale vegetables
Very high prices

Supermarkets
Good service
Excellent range of goods
Very fresh vegetables
Lower prices

IMO local shops really aren't worth a visit.

Well it is true that some corner shops havent really clicked onto the
fact that a housewife likes a place where they buy food to have clean
floors - as well as being bright and cheery .

Keeping the floors clean isnt even a lot of work as spending 5-10
minutes every night running a mop over the floor once the door is locked
is the sort of thing that housewifes like .

But the point is to start getting drivers out of their cars .

The way things stand at the moment the average car driver will instantly
think about how he is going to get their by car - and where they are
going to park when they get there .

The first step IMHO is to get drivers to start considering if walking is
a possible option - instead of instantly thinking 'go by car' with no
other thought process taking place or being considered .

Good lord, you got out on the right side of the bed this morning, didn't
you?

I think the Saudis are shooting themselves in the feet by not allowing
more oil to be made available, because the skyhigh prices will just
make people seek alternatives.

How do you know that they actually have the available capacity to make
a large increase in the production of oil? You can't just magic oil
out of the ground, you need to make a long term and expensive investment
in infrastructure to do that and it's not in their interests to do that.
Anway it's the increasing demand that is causing the problems not the
the decrease in the supply.

They said so this week in a meeting.

Ah, but my supermarket is nearer than the "local" shop.

That ****s your theory doesn't it?

It may well be because your local shop ended up closing down some
years ago due to lack of trade.

No.

There's a thing called inflation ... and that's definitely not a good
thing - 'cos higher inflation means higher interest rates means economic
recession means a hard time for most.

And as the corner shop goes, many people will regard it as even more
imperative to go somewhere with a range of real budget lines.
Apart from which, one of the main reasons corner shops aren't that popular
is staleness and a less agreeable shopping environment/experience.
