Homogenous

“Year by year England is becoming less varied and more and more the same. High streets are becoming almost indistinguishable from one another. We are developing nowhere places, where the buildings and shops in one place are identical to those in the next town, where the food in your shopping basket could have been bought anywhere, where the beer we drink is the same.”

    Substitute ‘Europe’ for ‘England’.

    The phenomenon is far more pronounced in England (and Ireland) than in other parts of Europe, though. There seems to be more resilience on “the mainland”, or at least in those parts of it I know.

    That’s not what I mean. I mean that the cities and towns of every European country including Britain and Ireland are looking the same with their McDonalds and their tie-shops and their Haagen Dasz etc. It’s more prominent if you look beyond the city centre and go into the suburbs and take a look at the shopping malls, etc.
