<p>Retailers reported the &#8220;best day of trading in years&#8221; as shoppers braved the wintry weather to reach the high street.</p>
<p>On what was expected to be their busiest weekend before Christmas, many stores feared the Arctic conditions would seriously dent sales.</p>
<p>But though Brent Cross, one of the UK&#8217;s biggest shopping centres, was forced to close early Saturday, customers turned out in force on Sunday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Capital Shopping Centres (CSC) said car parks around the country were nearly full by midday, with coffee bars, cafes and restaurants at full capacity by lunchtime.</p>
<p>This came after shadow chancellor Alan Johnson suggested the big freeze could knock the economy as demand fell while people stayed indoors.</p>
<p>Many online purchases have already fallen victim to the snow after deliveries were disrupted by chaos on the roads.</p>
<p>CSC commercial director Trevor Pereira attributed today&#8217;s bumper day at the check-outs to pre-Christmas &#8220;panic buying&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew, being the last weekend before Christmas Day, that some last-minute panic shopping would happen,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have seen a spike in sales of traditional games for the family, such as Monopoly and Twister.&#8221;</p>
<p>There was also a rise in demand for perfume sets, underwear, jewellery and rings.</p>
