Cyber Monday Begins Online Shopping Peak Season In UK

LONDON, November 23 - Cyber Monday, the first Monday after the last weekend of November, marks

Monday, turn to the Internet to start shopping for better prices and items
they could not find in stock. Moreover, many online retailers report that
peak online sales occur during the hours of 1200-1400 GMT, during lunch
break.
