Retailers Look Set For An Unhappy Christmas

It ain't hard to figure out why:

1. People are shopping on the internet
2. Lack of staff in some of the big retailers
3. Lack of product knowledge by the staff
4. Some clothing retailers think everyone is under 30-years-old

I've even heard of some people going into a store to try a certain item of clothing on. They then order the item over the internet at a cheaper price.

Ask Gerry, he's always bleating about losing sales to internet shoppers.

ABC News

Key points:
Sad

Australian shoppers will spend more than $50 billion in retail over the Christmas trading period with online shopping for gifts tipped to the see the biggest growth in retail.

It’s predicted that Australian consumers will spend 2.8% more on Christmas this year, compared to 2016, according to Roy Morgan Research and The Australian Retailers Association (ARA).

I have no big plans for spending big at Xmas - waiting for the grand-kids to come down to spend money..... might send them a few dollars each.... best way. Apart from that my traditional case of draught Guinness and bottle of Irish whiskey will be about it.

I need your address!... Although I fear that will be of no avail to me as I refuse to travel further than next door for a 3 day period. Cry

Sure! If it's not a Mon, Tue, Or Wed night, I have to get up in the morning. You might want to bring a Knob for yourself too though. Then we can shove Knob down each other's throats all night, see who "comes" up first!

Suspect? The way I figure it, when a naked Musso is chasing Allah down a blind alley wearing a pipe bomb strapped to his waist, he ain't exactly collecting for the Red Cross!

Actually I get restless for home after three days.... spent too much of my life away from home... including most Xmas and New Year's Eves...

Where's Gordon going? Way Up North (north to Alaska).. or the finer regions of the Mid North Coast?

Plough Inn at Bulahdelah is a good spot and very popular......

I hope my Knob is big enough for both of us. Would your wife like to partake?
