Monthly sales hit

RETAILERS have suffered the biggest fall in monthly sales in the 22-year history of a key industry survey.

Employers' body the CBI said many stores expected the gloom to continue into July and had brought forward summer sales in a bid to lure in shoppers.

Strong comparatives from last year's Euro 2004 championships contributed to the worst annual fall in the monthly Distributive Trades Survey.

About 42 per cent of retailers questioned said their sales volumes were down over the year to June.
