    Have to chuckle at the scenes being shown on TV of anger and panic in the likes of Asda and Tescos to get the so called deal.

    Usual suspects of the local trailer trash, unlike most of us in are in bed at that time as we have to get up and go out and earn our money.

    I went to Asda last year for the cheap 32" TV, they had 15 of them and 200 people there trying to grab them! Old ladies being pushed out of the way, it was unreal. Swore I would never go again for their "Bargains" joke. It was a big count down then GOOOO!! someone could have been hurt it was that bad!

    Ive got the day off today, and just came back from our town shops. I have to agree the UK Black Friday Deals are absolute shite.
    And the people that flock to grab them...deserve them.
    Not even been that impressed with Amazons offers this year, Think I'm getting old, lol

    I used to work for Asda last year it's just a con stores just get a Handfull of product and it causes the above, the way of the chav, brand damaging, not even good brands why oh why do the make/want customers to behave this way people at the top should be to blame so much for value everyday!

    I have ignored all this shite.

    I have had my nose stuck in a computer program all day to build a customers vehicles in the system, once finished and electronically signed off by me it goes straight to production, you have to have be focused and have total concentration so not something you can do whilst bobbing in and out to check your private emails to see if there is some thing you don't even need if being offered on a so called 'Black Friday' discount bonanza.

    The thing is guys, they really don't care if the LED TVs they are buying are shite, it ain't their money, its our hard earned taxes that are paying their benefits so that they can go out, have a rumble and buy this shite.

    So by default we all own a piece of a shite TV that someone is running in for us.

    Been getting loads of xmas presents from Amazon black friday over the past years, but this year it is mainly shite and people are buying everything electrical. I expect to see most of it on ebay over the coming weeks as used to happen with Aldi/Lidl deals.
