The latest e-commerce report from Mintel has revealed that UK Internet surfers continued to be the biggest online shoppers in Europe last year, spending £14.72bn and growing by 75% between 2005 and 2007! Germany came second with £10.34bn and France third on £9.54bn.

Two other major European states, Italy and Spain, could only manage £1.5bn and £1.35bn respectively. We may not have the best Internet infrastructure in Europe but we sure know how to use it.
