Busiest online shopping day
According to BBC report, today will be the busiest shopping day online.... here is part of the report:
The UK is set for its busiest internet shopping day of the year, with £320m forecast to be spent online.
The internet trade body IMRG says the UK's Christmas online retail sales could reach £13.6bn ($19.9bn).
It predicts the peak shopping hour will take place between 1300-1400 GMT when £28m may be spent online in an hour.
Martin Peterlechner, of Ivobank, said this highlighted the extent to which internet shopping had "become ingrained in our everyday lives".
Online retailer Play.com said it was expecting sales to soar as customers turned to the internet for bargains.
Monday will see sales soar by 25% compared to last year, the firm predicted.
