520 _aThe British Retail Consortium-KPMG "Retail sales monitor" for April 2003 reveals a downward trend in retail sales despite an increase of 4.8% on a like-for-like basis and growth of 7.6% on a total basis compared with 2002. However, the monitor puts the positive April figures down to the change of timing of Easter. "Retail sales monitor" at www.brc.org.uk/details.asp?id=157.
