"Fashion and furnishings retailer Laura Ashley on Wednesday posted a slight rise in full-year profits to &amp;#163;8.6 million despite disappointing apparel sales and a slump in overseas shoppers.   The company said group sales grew seven per cent to &amp;#163;276.8m, with home furnishings like-for-like sales up 18 per cent but fashion like-for-like sales up just one per cent."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
