00:00Well, at the moment in Birmingham, it's a bit clogged up, I think, in different places
00:05and areas. Everyone's coming in for prices, for names, but half of us can't afford the
00:10names anyhow. And when you get the quality, it's not as good as quality as it's supposed
00:14to be. But I think so, I might be wrong, but that's the way I see it. Because I'm a person
00:18who likes shoes, dancing shoes, so I like a bit of tap dancing and a bit of this, so
00:22I like good quality. But now you can't get the quality which you want. It does not make
00:26sense to me, and I've been a dancer, that's why it's always bad, dressing up a bit more,
00:31being smart. But these days, you can't iron the trousers no more, that's how I think.
00:36It's like we're back in the 1950s.
00:39I think these days, a lot of the big stores have left and we're left with now little independent
00:51shops that are turned up, which I think they're better value and they make you feel a bit
00:57more useful as a customer, rather than just a number. So I don't mind coming into Birmingham
01:05occasionally to do a bit of shopping, but they're very useful if you're after something
01:11in particular.
01:12Oh yeah, so I come here because it's a better town than where I'm from, Redditch, so it's
01:19quite a small shopping centre, but I'll come here because there's a lot more to do here.
01:23And for shopping, I do a lot of the Zara here and the H&M, because it's much bigger and
01:26it's better than where I am. I mainly come here though for food and drinks, that's it
01:32really.
01:33I'd like to see more greenery, shorter queues, and probably more sitting down areas as well.
01:41Nah, because inflation has increased everything, everything's gone expensive. Like, I believe
01:47Birmingham, compared to London though, with the prices, everything's just too... Like,
01:52milk, I can't even buy milk for £1 anymore, it's like £2. It's crazy, it's too expensive.
