Shoppers hit second day of sales

Bargain-hunters are expected to brave the bad weather today to match Boxing Day spending in stores with another £2.2 billion of retail sales predicted across the UK.

Shoppers were out in force yesterday, with 13.3 million people estimated to have turned out for the start of the clearance sales, up 2% year-on-year, according to the Centre for Retail Research (CRR).
