I do think that the camping shops seem a lot busier when you go in, of late.   I only live down the road from Outdoor Megastore, and when ever I have popped in for a nosey, or a few bits it does seem really busy - even driving past the car park always looks fairly full.

I am wondering if lots of people are buying tents, with the intention of going camping, taking one look at the weather forecast and not bothering.

I defy any newbie to not get bitten by the camping bug - we did last year!

I think its busier because of the economic climate but also after the lovely met office told everyone it was going to be a fab summer - why would you queue at Stansted if you could be in Norfolk in the sun in 1.5 hours?? I admit my theory falls down due to the distinct lack of sun, but at least in the UK everywhere is equipped to deal with 4 seasons in a day!
