Women shop - but men go surfing

Quote:As sales fever gets under way, the lazy boys do their bargain hunting online

WOMEN led the rush for bargains in the post-Christmas sales on the high street yesterday, while men stayed at home to indulge in the latest craze of armchair shopping on the net.

About £1.4 billion is predicted to be spent in this traditional sale period. The hunt for online sales began in the early hours of Christmas Day as soon as Marks & Spencer, Dixons and Argos cut prices on their web stores.

Other companies eager to capture this market were Dixons, Currys, PC World, The Link, Virgin Megastore and HMV.
