Aparently, it was the day the Yanky retailers traditionally made it into the black, and they celebrated with a sale. Peolpe queuing overnight, others fighting in doorways, wtf has this world come too...
The Yanks have not only given us Black Friday, but also Trick or Treat Prom Night Starbucks and McDonalds I think they deserve Russell Brand if nothing else
It's clever marketing, look at all the stuff that was on sale, shit that they couldn't get rid of last year when was the last time you saw Polaroid TV's for sale? thing is most of the chavs fighting over a shit TV or single sided toaster will be queueing outside a food bank tomorrow saying they can't afford to feed their 8 children as their broardband and Sky bills have gone up above inflation.
If anyone has been to a jumble sale and experienced just how sharp old ladies elbows can be and how fierce they are at a rummage, then the minor scuffles shown on TV are just a warm up.
Ordered some nice Ducati Corse boots & polo shirt from Ducati Manchester online last night, 25% off, paid for it all and got a phone call this morning to say it is all out of stock and I've been given a refund. Some good their sales are, get you all excited and then kick you in the arse.
The US is beyond hope. They have amazingly beautiful places in their country but they don't visit them because they spend all their time at work, taking truly miserable amounts of holiday. When you give them a long weekend starting on Thursday they only thing they can think of doing with it is to head to the mall to buy another load of crap they don't need and stuff themselves with more industrial calorie laden products. It's true that many cultures are bonkers but no one spends the time and energy that the septics do trying to export their dystopian vision to the entire world. The UK is nearly always the first place to gobble it up. Literally.
