It is often the case (0) that   the principal street of an English town or city is called the High Street, and in the past it (1) scoring have been there that people used to meet, do business and go shopping. However, over the last few decades, Britain, (2) scoring other developed countries, has seen “giant” supermarkets and major new shopping centres springing (3) scoring on the outskirts of urban areas or in locations which are (4) scoring reached by car and which have ample parking.
