It's an American thing. It shouldn't be over here in the UK.

It's just big shops getting rid of old stock.

Kos is right on FB, I hope the retailers get billed for the cost of the police.

But most of all, it gives me bargain envy :((

Is this what it's about in the US?

No background checks before 8AM, I wonder what could go wrong (fail)

Surely it just means that you won't be able to walk away with it before 8am as they won't be able to check. Right?

Up yours! Meanwhile in twittertheft, I see that images from the Pets at Home black Friday sale are showing our furry friends get in a consumer frenzy too.



Actually wasn't Our American Chum Ken a big fan of the Black Friday shopping frenzy, all motel roomed up and everything? I'm guessing that's not an option with the current invalid state.

Some people are just stupid that way. Some will even use dynamite.  8-O

I prefer the old fashioned rod and reel method, leading to the demise of an unfortunate worm.  ;-)

I've heard of cyanide being used to catch tropical fish. Many are killed outright, of course. The ones that aren't can be sold.

I saw someone online suggesting that the TV he saw in Curry's advertised as "£299, down from £499" was actually £300 about a month ago - ie; no reduction at all in reality.

I had a quick look at the laser printers last night. One of the HP multi function lasers on a black Friday offer was still more expensive than the standard price it was selling for on Amazon.

Yeeeah, and...?

You don't think they're actually going to discount stuff, do you?

It's just an opportunity to publicise price drops on old stock that have/were going to happen anyway, taking money from the current round of stupid people and making space for the stock to rip off the next round of stupids.

nope, not really, that's why I didn't bother with any of it

there was fighting in our local Tesco just after midnight on Friday morning

I can't think of anything Tesco sells that I would fight for

Yeah, I'm glad I did my shopping on Thursday, but likewise - there's not much I'd take even if they were giving it away.
