Sales down footfall down look for bargains leading up to Xmas etc.
The internet is doing very well.
Crowded shopping centres and terrorism frighten people off.
Parking nightmares do too.
Shopping in weather and traffic is so out of date.
The last minute price slashing we were told would happen the last half dozen Christmases didn't materialize.

Online shopping tends to happen before 'Cyber Monday' as that is the last date after which delivery for Christmas cannot be guaranteed my many online retailers. It is then that the attention properly reverts back to the high street where - we are finding - sales are significantly down.
Still that's not really a surprise with falling wages, rising inflation and uncertainty in the job market.

You may jump on a train and start following me around with my shopping bags.
