Hi Dalooks, almost thought this board had died with the SP lol. Various brands esp premium / luxury players have hit high single / low double digit growth this year, figures not achieved for many years. Marketing / It initiatives driving growth in the winners. Fc has suffered due to remaining a traditional retailer failing to initiate or invest in this area to drive its retail division, remaining stagnated in trying to reduce costs as a priority over investment that is driving competitors growth. Low � as attracted tourists with london trade strong, mortgage rates remain at historic lows, good seasonal weather etc all positive retail drivers. Poor performers have been retailers who have not reviewed their large retail trading footage whilst also lacking innovation in customer engagement, new look, debs, hof - none a surprise and deserving of their failures. March update I guess will be no thrills ?

I�d predict Fc at level lol come March update, March update? Level LFL and costs reduced ?
As ever there has been winners and losers this year, however, to say this has been one of the best years in recent years for retail is way off of the mark. Consumer confidence is v low, the pound has dived, any retailer with physical stores is facing multiple pressures. All of these things will be affecting the FCCN SP as well as the updates from other retailers. The fact is we don't know and won't know for a period of time how FCCN did over xmas. There has been no profit warning but at the same time I can't believe they have broken any records. But back to your post Rio I do wonder where you get these things from.
