Great, new energy efficient lights, fantastic! Customers being more cautious with their money, well, yeah. (Not me though, can't be more cautious than I already am about spending.)
"confident that Irish shoppers will dip into savings and credit to have a merry Christmas" Uh. What? That's a _good_ thing? The merriness of my Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with how much stuff I get. Those around me will not be getting expensive presents, but that's because I ain't going into debt for Christmas. A lot of my presents are going to be handmade by me, not only cos I'm that much of a scrooge but because be Jaysus some of it's feckin' priceless.
Also, now that it's November, it's just about permitted to mention Christmas.
