Well, your sample of one store out of 350 and one on trading day in December beats my zero stores in zero days, so who am I to argue?
(Although I know most self-respecting statisticians would argue quite aggressively...)
Ok, The number of customers in one shop isnt the best indicator of a Company's success. But its a pretty good sign (how I wish I'd paid attention when my grand-children were pushing into Smiggles)

Well, there are quite a few of us here that are delusional then.
If I was in the position of trying to takeover a company like TRS I'd be hoping that the SP was doing exactly what its been doing in the last month ... and I'd be hoping that people kept on saying "Narh, Nothing to see here ... all perfectly normal ... no manipulation at all."
