Unless youre thinking about MacDonalds, or Meadowhall shopping centre....
Don't forget our national growth industry, piling Chinese/Indian made tat ever higher in sprawling ever larger warehouses, themselves built, naturally, on previously good green land, and filling our roads with ever larger lorries transporting it huge distances from port to warehouse, and thence to said shopping centres, a perma sustainable economic miracle i tell you, with smaller service type 'industries' keeping this charade going.
Notice how Yorkshire/North Notts/Derbyshire towns are spreading so close now that it's but a short stroll between the various outskirts.
Northamptonshire and its surrounds have benefitted greatly from this wonderful boom industry (insert face palm smiley or maniacal laughter here), which is leading to East Northants towns getting ever closer, another 30 years and the county will resemble Birmingham district too, where there is nothing but warehouses and retail parks and the odd public park where only the brave venture after dark separating the once individual towns which have also seen massive house building programs to cater for the effects of imported warehouse workers.
A veritable warehouse of cards?
