Mr Lewis said: “The internet is a fantastic piece of technology. We all use it, I shop online occasionally, but it just isn’t the same. I would say that as great as the internet is, the awful situation with eBay reminds us that the level of security you have got to be aware of online, by shopping on the high street you just don’t have to think about that. You can choose about going in a store and shopping in a store you feel comfortable in.”
