HMVās on-line offerings, although traditional (read dull / 20th Century) are often very competitive and, when you factor in their free p&p, meant that I often used them.
Just like their shops though, it is dull, without personality or identity (no story in todayās parlance), so I fear that they wonāt even manage to save their on-line presence.
I bought an album at the Telford branch this Christmas. It was was Ā£4.00 more expensive than Amazon and Ā£2.00 for parking and I had to deal with people but I just hate using Amazon. Staff were good but couldnāt understand the concept that a gatefold album needed a gatefold cover rather than a normal one.
Itās barely worth going to any shop that doesnāt offer something you cant buy online - either a service you need to get in person, or something you have to try. Parking is shit, traffic is shit, all the other fuckwits in town are shit, prices are shit, service is frequently shitā¦ not much of an incentive

Votes cost you know!
Reckon he will fall in line with Mayās deal now?
I read that gammon faced Sir Edward Leigh (already a knight) got made into a Privy Counsellor on the Friday before Christmas when it was thought no one would notice.
Votes are costing.
Very high margins on their products, typically 60%+.

I think they must purƩe the sausage meat. So the vegan one is filled with baby food then.

Vegans are the fucking bane of my life as a veggie. Every outlet seems obsessed with trying to pacify the idea of how big the market actually is (miniscule but disproportionately large media profile). The end result - things I quite like have the bloody cheese, eggs or dairy taken out of them to accommodate the 25 vegans in the UK on the off chance that they might turn up in their establishment.
There will be more meat eaters playing with vegan diets in January than there are actual full time vegans

Lol, manufacturers have to make everything for vegans to be like meat products.
