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.
Substitute ‘Europe’ for ‘England’.
