    Brexit causes people to stop visiting the shops

    Hot weather unable to stem shopper decline in February - BBC News

    Last month saw the biggest fall in five years in people visiting stores during February, according to the British Retail Consortium and Springboard.

    Footfall among shoppers fell by 2% year-on-year across High Streets, retail parks and shopping centres.

    It marked the fifteenth month in a row of falls, with Northern Ireland the only part of the UK to buck the trend.

    "While real incomes have been rising over the last year, the uncertainty surrounding Brexit appears to be driving a needs-not-wants approach."
    Yeah that's what it is, people have more money that ever, but due to Brexit we couldn't be bothered to go down the shops. That's what it was, definitely.

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
