i have never understood this, online shopping is hilariously much more expensive and inconvenient than just popping down to the shops

also removing cars almost always makes it easier to get around, not sure why you'd think it would make things harder?

Yeah generally for clothes, booze and a quite a lot of stuff online works out cheaper. For buying some basics vs supermarkets or a Savers etc, it can be pricier until you start buying multiples.
