Better to focus on addressable retail as nobody is ever going to buy a mars bar online. Here I go direct to source - 18% of all Argos sales are now ordered online and Littlewoods, Findal and other mail order titans are at 50%+ from a base of zero five years ago. IMRG are probably closer to the retail pulse and they have online retail at 15% of the UK pot. Hi Nic
