BURY ST EDMUNDS SHOPS ARE BUZZING !!!

[Viper]

Golly, poor malamute.

CHrist Almighty - you and Canny really are sad if you remember this from Xmas 2016!

You will be pleased to know I have not been to any Xmas markets this year, last year was a one off.

I have bought most stuff online this year and a few bits locally and I live nowhere near Bury St Edmunds.

Merry christmas malamute. These remoaners eh. Funny old sorts. So dour.

I assume that you are aware that the reason people come out today in the (usually vain) hope of a genuine bargain is that this is the only time they can afford to buy?

However, rather than fall for the ridiculous over-hype of moron's comics, try the memory of the large London store opening it's doors on Black Friday - to be greeted by one bloke who simply strolled in and had a leisurely look around.

Black Friday - the true meaning of a Tory government organised Brexit....

Record retail figures

Have a fucking word with yourself !!!

"Rocketing food inflation and uncertainty about the outlook for the UK economy have sent retail sales tumbling to their first year-on-year fall since 2013.

Food prices, which were 3.5% higher than a year earlier, helped push the volume of goods bought in shops and online down by 0.3% from October 2016."

UK car sales fall for eighth month in a row

Sales slumped by 11.2% last month to 163,541 vehicles, putting the industry on course for the first drop in annual sales since 2011. New car sales in the first 11 months of 2017 were down by 5% at 2.39m.

“An eighth month of decline in the new car market is a major concern, with falling business and consumer confidence exacerbated by ongoing anti-diesel messages from government,” said Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the industry trade body.

So, the results are in.

The British people have voted - with their feet.

The research group Springboard, who measure such things every year, tell us that;

"SHOP VISITS DROPPED BY 4.5% UP TO 5PM TODAY, COMPARED TO BOXING DAY 2016"

Shopping centres and High Streets recorded the largest declines, and the scale of the drop is greater than expected.

Lol canny the luddite not changing with the times (typical remoaner )

Have a quick read about how retail is changing. Of course you could carry on with your absurd position that high street footfall is down because of brexit and not because online is where its at now (record figures). Try and read a bit more widely. You are trying to rebuild your credibility.

Clearly you needed to ignore this bit.....

After all, changing with the times does include ONLINE SALES, does it not ???
