LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. retail sales fell 1.5% in January compared with the previous month, according to data released by the Office of National Statistics on Friday. The amount spent dropped by 1.8% in the same period. "It must be remembered that month-on-month growth in December 2013 was particularly strong at 2.5%," the ONS said in its report. Year-on-year, January's retail sales rose by 4.3%. Figures for online shopping saw similar movement, with online sales down 3.3% month-on-month, but up 8.9% year-on-year. The two types of retailer seeing the biggest rises over 2013 were household-goods stores (9.8%) and other stores (14.8%), but ONS cautioned this could be due to weak January 2013 figures, which were hit by bad weather
