Does this retail sales info include or exclude online sales?
Whenever I've looked at the two it usually indicates falling high street sales and rising online sales, with the two together often indicating an overall increase. In my humble opinion, it is this change in consumer spending that has had such a disastrous effect on the high street as much as the credit crunch. It certainly has in my case. As I hate shopping, I buy almost everything online

I will have a look at Retail Week later on to see their take on it.0
