Goes Shopping
It’s hard to believe that
once upon atime everyone
did their shopping in small
shops. The small shop was
‘once an important part of
our lifestyle, a place to meet
and talk, But things are very
different today compared
to fifty years ago, and life for small shops has
been difficult. In this BBC programme, we look
at different trends in shopping over the years,
from shopping malls to hypermarkets and of
course online shopping, We find out how small
shops are trying to stay alive.
