00:05cities buoyant with people buying things, not necessarily driving around.
00:14No, I think the government has affected the high street by all the break-up
00:18streets, so the old people can't get in, and all the parking and all the roads, I
00:23think they've killed them. Well I'm from Llanelli area and I lived there for
00:27like 30 years and just seen how it's deteriorated because of all the quirky
00:31small shops have been taken away and everyone, you know, is all driven to go
00:36to these big units in Trostraire, and yeah, it's affected the town
00:41dramatically and it's sad. Well at the end of the day what does affect the high
00:48street is going on Amazon on your phone. Why would I come down to Cardiff from
00:52Upper Valleys, right, and why would I go, you know what, I'm gonna come down to
00:55Cardiff and buy some cards for people's birthdays. Oh actually, I can just go on
00:59Amazon and buy it there.
