I hate to be the harbinger of doom but I think we are in for a few bad weeks ahead.

The Queens Diamond Jubilee has played havoc with sales for the past four days. We will have just got over that and Euro 2012 starts on Friday, and that spells death for our European markets. That will just about finish and The Olympics start.

Past history tells us that these will all be bad for business. The Euro soccer means the UK, Germany, France, Holland, Sweden, Spain and Italy will all be closed for business until each team gets knocked out. It's amazing how quickly business in a country picks up as soon as their team is knocked out!

The Olympics is a global killer - especially the USA.

May as well pack up until August lol!
