These shopping mails are already consigned to the history books before they've even opened.Think about it,people will have less money to spend on non essential items and won't be prepared to travel to shop because of high fuel prices.They are from a byegone era,icons of post millennium madness.

John in London, we already have these in the form of Poundland and Poundworld, not forgetting the 99p Stores. Coming your way soon!

Japan has 100-Yen shops and even 50-Yen shops. We'll be seeing sterling equivalents soon.

John, London,

There is no Bluewater issue in rural Wales. Little shops still run the show. This requires more walking or perhaps not given the size of giant malls. We probably benefit from being an outpost and at the end of the delivery track. Not always such a wide range and no designer labels, but who cares?

How long before the old shopping centres complain that trade is being taken away from them?

With oil prices rising, has much though been put into how people will travel there when cars become too expensive (oil prices)?

White City will be on a couple of tube lines, leading to more over crowding, but most will still travel there by car - or choose to shop more locally or online.

I have only been to Bluewater shopping mall once , and i found it over priced and lack a of choice due to the chain stores that inhabit these places. So now i have moved to shopping on line, due mainly to the local shops deserting the high street.

Shopping, our favourite pastime, how sad.

Another shopping devlopment!!! My partner will be so happy, more places to go which sells the same stuff as our local shops but charges you high parking prices!!! Bring on the hours of standing in another chained shop!!!

These white elephants will be just as profitable as all those BTL apartment developments. Thrift stores will be the fashion of the next decade.
