The probability is that, after adjusting for the timing of Easter, the underlying trend in like-for-like sales is, at best, flat.
Easter this year isn't in March, it's in April, so we always knew that March would be a minus figure. If you allow for the fact that is Easter is normally worth about 1 to 1 1/2 percentage points, then the underlying trend is flat and we expect that to continue.
Another slight improvement in like-for like sales is very welcome, especially considering the downward trend in the first half of this year.
