I never understand economists
There's this story. It's on the BBC's website here. It says we're spending less on the High Street and the economists are frankly baffled.
I'll never understand this. we get several years of why we're all doomed because we're spending too much on credit and not usng cash we actually have - then we cut back and people are baffled, saying it's actually bad news.

Anyone who can explain this is welcome to have a go. Or you could just have too much time on your hands. But I'm surprised the journalists never make the connection - isn't it our job to ask the awkward stuff?
