OXFORD, U.K. -- This week, Britain's shoppers are expected to spend a record £1.145 billion online, the biggest e-sales week this country has ever seen. According to the Interactive Media in Retail Group, internet sales yesterday were set to exceed £180 million in a single day, an all time high and 40% higher than last year's peak of about £131m, on 12 December 2005.

IMRG predicts that December online sales will top the £3.55 billion mark.
