just heard some chap from experian on the radio saying that around 117 million online visits will be made to retail websites with about 350 milliion quid spent.
i would have thought christmas day could be better spent though i can understand people that follow different religions seeing the benefit.

Carole I am glad to see you are as "sad" as the rest of us, I am the same as you with a large drink beside me I am just waiting for the veg to cook. I can't help thinking I am toooooooooooo organised this year so I must have forgotten something.
Happy Christmas.

not much of a break for shop staff as most are back at work tomorrow for the sales.

If they encourage people to still shop local, that'll be good for Dover.

had to do a double take earlier, looked at first that the business was going in to liquidation.

Surely De Bradelei have missed a trick by not opening today? those looking for sale bargains no doubt have gone elsewhere.
