The high street may be struggling but online shopping was at its highest rate ever last month. Shoppers spent £4.67bn online last month, up nearly 15 per cent on 2007, according to the latest figures.
One startling statistic to make the headlines being that more individuals shopped on the internet on the Christmas Day than went to church.
Meanwhile, high street retail sales fell by 1.4 per cent in December, the worst Christmas for at least 14 years, according to the British Retail Consortium.
