Sue reports that today's trip to Truro was noticeable for the fact that shop assistants were speaking to customers. A sure sign that the retail trade is suffering and that the 'make sales or else' message has been issued by owners to their teams.
The roads have been quiet for some time - Brent oil is now US$118 - so petrol and diesel prices are going to rise despite the price reduction and price stabilisation introduced in the recent Budget.
All in all it's going to be a difficult year for businesses and individuals, I fear. The price we are all paying for the inability of the last Government to manage the Nation's finances.
