00:00 What's a shop on the High Street that's no longer here that you miss?
00:03 Debenhams.
00:03 Yeah, and what did you like about Debenhams?
00:05 It had everything you needed. Nice clothes, nice bedding, nice men's things, everything.
00:13 What's a shop on the High Street that's no longer here that you miss?
00:16 I'd say Debenhams.
00:17 Yeah, absolutely Debenhams.
00:19 Why Debenhams?
00:20 It had everything under one roof. I could go in there and do all my Christmas shopping and it was easier.
00:28 What's a shop on the High Street that's no longer here that you miss?
00:31 The main one is Debenhams because it's a store where you can get multiple things and you don't have to go anywhere else.
00:40 It has lots of different designers and so on that you could get everything you wanted there.
00:47 And what have you found as a replacement for Debenhams?
00:50 There isn't one.
00:51 There's no chance.
00:52 No, you have to go around. I suppose Marks and Spencers comes close for clothing if you're female.
00:58 But then it's so much... it has its moments as Marks and Spencers.
01:03 It decides what colours you're going to wear and then that's the only colour you can get.
01:07 Whereas you used to be able to choose all sorts of things from Debenhams.
