Heavily pregnant and devoted to clothing apps, could I survive a return to actual high street shops? | Nell Frizzell

More than a fifth of non-food purchases made online in the UK are now returned to the retailer.

So-called serial returners will buy and then post back 6.6bn worth of unwanted online purchases this year .

I want the high street to remain as healthy and as unhomogenised as possible.

The woman at the till had a voice like gravel rolling down a sword and none of the merchandise actively swore at me.

But apart from visiting charity shops on my way to other errands, I’m still in no hurry to return to real-life clothes shops.
