  • It's the first Saturday of shopping following the lifting of national restrictions and retailers are hoping for big sales to make up for November losses.
  • Oxfordshire's Tier 2 restrictions mean all non-essential shops are allowed to reopen.
  • While other parts of the country saw queues on 'Wild Wednesday' - the day such shops could reopen - it was quieter in Oxford.
