Retail sales rebounded by a better-than-expected 2.1% last month as shoppers returned to the high street after a snow-hit start to the year, new figures have revealed. Strong sales of tablet computers helped drive the bounce-back, while department stores also benefited with sales up 10.6% in February, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The surge in retail sales volumes came after a dire January, when sales plunged after many small shops were forced to shut as snow blanketed much of Britain. |
