The 勝利者s and losers of the Christmas 戦う/戦い as trouble stalks the High Street: Listen to the This is Money podcast

Just how bad was Christmas for Britain’s shops? Retailers sounded the alarm 早期に when advent brought a string of 警告s about a terrible November, but this week we started to find out what the 決定的な festive period really brought.

A 急ぐ of results arrived, as everyone from the big supermarkets to M&S, Debenhams and John 吊りくさび updated on Christmas sales.

The 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 had been 始める,決める low, but it turned out to be not やめる so bad as thought ? with a few 勝利者s and a bunch of losers who escaped the drubbing 恐れるd.

On this week’s podcast, This is Money’s 小売 専門家 Emily Hardy, joins Simon Lambert and Georgie 霜 to 精査する through the 人物/姿/数字s and look at who did 井戸/弁護士席 and who didn’t.

The team also look at the 決定的な question of whether retailers with decent sales will turn those into 利益(をあげる), or whether getting items off the 棚上げにするs at a 割引 cost them dear?

Also on the 協議事項 is what’s 原因(となる)ing the malaise. Is it the internet, a 欠如(する) of 質, or 簡単に Britain hitting 頂点(に達する) stuff? Simon has a theory based on sales, アマゾン, people buying 現在のs later and 存在 a bit more discerning.

Away from the high street, we also discuss how to get a new 職業 in 2019 and find out about the man whose expensive £4,000 wasted romantic trip after a break-up spurred him on to create 移転 Travel - the ‘eBay for unwanted holidays’.?

Deep discounts have boosted sales at some shops but will it cost them profits?
