Following a series of missed opportunities due to the Big Freeze once again gripping the UK, retailers are battling against the cold weather to make up what they lost in the final shopping weekend before Christmas.
Ahead of the 20 per cent VAT rise in January, retailers were expecting a healthy dose of shoppers wanting to buy now before the increase kicks in, however thousands were put off by the bad weather or physically unable to make it to the high street because of suspended public transport and warnings to only drive if necessary.
Prompting more of us to look to the government for blame for this latest break down in transport and communication, consumers have been left out in the cold once again due to a lack of preparation.
