- Campaign, Wednesday, May 11, 2016 6:27 AM
UK retailers saw like-for-like sales drop 0.9% in April after wet weather deterred consumers from spending big on clothes. Total sales for the four weeks to 30 April were flat, according to the latest British Retail Consortium-KPMG sales monitor – the second month in a row this has been the case. Meanwhile, online sales growth in non-food fell to 6.6% – the slowest rate for three years.
