I'm surprised travel agents are still going.

I think bookshops and record shops are doing better these days too.

I think high streets are evolving and more food and drink places are part of it.
The reduction in stake on their betting terminals must have had a huge impact, I remember reading there was some way around it and that they were exploring using paper betting slips for virtual cycling etc, not sure where that ended up.

I suppose most of them are already successful online but it's hard to see where the future for the bricks and mortar bookie could possibly be.
