It’s what’s inside that counts
June 29th, 2011Retail needs a touch of excitement
May 27th, 2011The party’s over. The royal wedding was our last great retail hurrah. The sales we celebrated in April boosted by the happy day and glorious weather are not long to reign over us. Sales that were perkier than Pippa Middleton’s bottom are now looking ghastlier than Princess Eugenie’s outfit. God save retail.
