People are thinking to (dodge the credit crunch) take advantage of cheaper online prices and this may cause 
a huge rise in online shopping.
Figures from the Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG) and Capgemini show that around £13.16billion to be spent online in the final quarter of 2008 and it would be 15 percent higher than the same period last year.
Though it may be a major rise, it would indicate a slow-down on online shopping growth.
It is expected that 8 December (a Monday) is going to be the UK’s most zealous shopping day when an estimated £320million to be spent online.
Almost 42 percent of the shopping will be made outside of usual shopping hours, before shops opening in the morning or after 6pm.
