(last figures were for 2002) Indeed, particularly considering 2002 was probably the depths of a world economic recession (certainly the US economy ws in its worst state then and is now coming out of it strongly, plus Europe was at a low point then)( and also the recent reports on both Christmas and last year's sales figures for retailers in these areas, which showed that total sales were up although profits were down, due to the retailers realising that the prices were too high and were producing a sales barrier. The lower prices meant more individual sales, although profits were therefore up less than the sales. This information was from the TV reports from the BBC about Christmas retail sales. -- *E-mail*a.a.adams-SsMor1Oo1JZaa/[email protected]******** Dr Andrew A Adams **snail*23 Ivydene Road************ School of Systems Engineering ***mail*Reading RG30 1HT, UK******* The University of Reading ****Tel*+44-118-956-0607*********** Reading, United Kingdom
