Sorry but that's the nightmare scenario Phil.

I'd rather have Park Road/Kenny Road/Wavertree Rd lined with the premises of 24hour local or grocers, butchers and fishmongers, selling fresh food at about HALF the price of the corporates myself. And in case anyone thinks that's wishful thinking you want to research what's happening in my North London high street where the incumbant Turkish community actually COOK and demand groceries around the clock at rock bottom prices. I can get 5/6 full bags or two weeks worth of fruit and veg at 2pm or 2am for around £12-14. You just couldn't do that in Liverpool a bit to do with lack of demand too which is a real shame. You got the 'Tesco takeover' laying waste to vast tracts of urban high street and charging it's customers a premium to do so.

In Stoke Newington here, the only use most people have for our one supermarket (it's a Morrisons) is to spank it for tinned tomatoes.
