September 21, 2007 Retail sales in Britain rose strongly last month, helped by strong sales of food, official data showed yesterday. Retail sales rose by 0.6 percent in August from July, when they had advanced by 0.7 percent, said the Office for National Statistics. The growth came mostly in sales of food, which rose by 1.3 percent in August, the biggest gain since June 2006. There were also large gains to sales of clothing and other non-food items. – Sapa-AFP, London
