I don't think that they are back yet as I went to town today and there
were plenty of kids along the high street. I think that they go back in
the next couple of days - IIRC it is usually around the 4th.

You may have noticed an increase in traffic due to the amount of parents
who have returned to work after having the last week in August off to
spend time with the children. A lot of parents seem to take this week as
holiday, and as it has just ended the number of people returning to the
office would be quite high.

Not yet - still plenty time for the 'me too' brigade to settle in.

There was a slight dip, although I don't really have enough visitors to track
trends very accurately. It's turned colder though, and it's Christmas already
in shop time.
