The Christmas Season is in full swing… NOT!

In all my years of retail experience I have never seen as bad a Christmas

And it is not only us, the whole economy is suffering. Restaurants are announcing Profit Warnings, we can manage our business with 50% of last year’s staff levels, and the retail council is voicing fears of a serious slow down.

The overall mood is this:

Let’s postpone Christmas until April. Whatever happens, it appears to have been cancelled this December.

With all the economic horror stories bouncing about the news media, people simply seem to have stopped spending money. Last weekend, there were as many people there as ever, maybe even more, but their pockets were not lined with money.

When tourists do not even eat where they travel, a retail business may have to consider emigrating to warmer climes.
