London now in tier 4 and Borris has now cancelled Christmas, anyone who has packed their bags to visit relatives now told to unpack their bags.

The cancelling of Christmas will mean less food sales and very bad news for food retailers.

I expect MARKS share price along with other food retailers to fall on Monday.

Retail sales fell by 3.8% in November on the previous month as the coronavirus lockdown in England and restrictions elsewhere in the UK shut much of the high street.

A 19% fall in clothing sales followed the closure of most department stores and non-essential shops.

Britons bought an extra £2.5bn ($1.5bn) worth of lager, wine, spirits and meat from supermarkets in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic meant restaurants and pubs were closed for big chunks of the year and people spent more time at home. But this also meant personal care items like deodorants took a major hit.Data from data analytics company Nielsen found that an extra £2.1bn worth of lager, wine, and spirits went through the tills. The fastest growing grocery category of 2020 was lager, up £791.9m to be worth £4.4bn. Sale of Corona lager, owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI.BR), were up by £68m, despite the somewhat controversial name.Wine and spirits also saw massive gains of £717.4m and £566.8m respectively.The meat category was another big winner, up £438.9m. Beef was the fastest growing product of the entire year (excluding tobacco), up £161.8m to £2bn.That was followed by sausages, up £125.9m, and chicken, up £120.4m."This is a marked contrast to last year, when fresh meat sales suffered - with beef showing the biggest decline of any category," the study noted....

Also, I guess the biggest gainers by London pubs being closed has to be Supermarkets and M&S stores at petrol stations - people will be buying more booze and snacks there instead of pubs.
