"The Brits will be shopping late this year, with nearly half of them (48%) starting their purchases in December and 2% on Christmas Eve."

Kind regards,

Good find. Now that's the kind of prediction I like to read

Wow - if the survey is correct then we all need to make sure our servers are ready!
I have already had more traffic in November than I did in the first 2 weeks of December last year and I've had to start using the file system to cache some of my busiest pages as the database was creaking!

Looks like I'll be spending December putting plasters over my dodgy asp!

"MILLIONS of internet shoppers face a “rip-off” Christmas after a decision by leading electronics companies to force up online prices for DVD players, hi-fis and similar products to high street levels. Manufacturers, including Sony, are charging shopping websites wholesale prices between 10 and 15 per cent higher than their prices to high street stores, the trade group that represents online sellers says."
