Again, very chaotic, very... going in every direction I would say, and sometimes a bit dim and down.
Not always the best news this month, the attack on the fridges in France, the IT attack on the Holdelais and other retailers, some demonstrations and broken stores.
And obviously also a lot of discussions on everything which is taxation, VAT and so on and so on.
So a lot of negativity and it was not the best month I would say for retail.
