Mild October boosts shopping

UK retail sales bounced back in October as deep discounts and strong demand for household goods made up for slow growth in clothing sales.

Sales volumes grew by 0.8% last month, following a fall of 0.4% in September, according to the Office for National Statistics. Clothing sales, hampered by the mild weather, grew by just 0.5%.
