Retailers hit by worst non-food sales on record in October - BBC News
Sales of non-food items grew at the slowest pace since records began as families chose days out over shopping, the British Retail Consortium has said.
Non-food sales rose by just 0.1% in the three months to October, marking their poorest performance since January 2011,

Total retail sales, including food, rose just 0.2% last month, compared to 2.4% last year. On a like-for-like basis, which excludes new store openings, sales were down 1%.
