The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has reported that retail sales fell in Britain in September, with food sales suffering the largest drop. ONS Director Of Economic Statistics Darren Morgan said 'Retailers told us that the fall in September was partly because many stores were closed for the Queen's funeral, but also because of continued price pressures leading consumers to be careful about spending'.
