I cannot comment on the article specifically but I can confirm we have delivered sales in line with expectations.  The General Merchandise business is improving despite difficult trading conditions; and product improvements will appear in the Autumn/Winter collections.  The Food business delivered a strong performance, with sales up 4.5%.  Similarly, sales through M&S.com are up 29.9%, 13% ahead of the market; and International sales are up 8.7%.
