    So what good bargains have people seen / bought?

    I went to a shop specialising in the dark arts of the era 2007-2011 and I picked up

    Luke Varney, Tom Soares, Andy Gray, Chris Iwelumo, Pawel Abbott, Paul Benson, David Mooney, Dan Seabourne, Izale McLeod, Ross McCormack, Deon Burton, Paddy McCarthy, Mark Hudson, Lee Cook (twice - put him back in the used bucket but picked him up again), Leroy Lita, Nicky Weaver, Jay McClerverly, Dean Parrott and Matt Spring.

    I think I dropped a couple of items as I left so please let me know if I missed any out

    Another good idea from the US. All we need now is for the Government to make it legal for all citizens to own hand guns and we will be in Utopia!

    Give them time, they're a bit busy working on privatizing the health service at the moment.

    If the behavior of these shoppers isn't pathetic, it's certainly lacking a sense of perspective and human dignity.

    Probably one of the best posts I've read

    Save £300 on an iPhone6 and I might be outside a store at 2am myself.

    As someone else said, save £50 on a Slovakian rebadged TV, no thanks.

    You did well with Ross McCormack to be fair.

    Another dreadful custom we have brought over from the States, why? Seeing people fighting in Tesco for a TV (on the TV, not in person) made me want to weep at how greedy we've become. I must be turning into a grumpy old woman!

    I quietly despair for humanity from the safety of my keyboard.

    Looking at people push and shove maxed out by all the hype and led by the nose by retailers to degrade themselves on mass is astonishing. Society at its near basist but then again i get a nervous rash just driving past Bluewater or Lakeside on the motorway. Good luck Plebs your all going to Hell!!
    (alright that bits tongue in cheek...)

    Okay, I'd love great big TV cheap. Playsytion VI on a fifty per cent discount? Hmmm, maybe time to update my old Wii. Do I want to do what the people I just saw on YouTube are doing, vfighting and scrapping. No. At that point, I'll be sat here watching the barbarians with a cool pint of bitter in hand. I don't aspire to be anything great, but I'm not living in a bear-pit either.

    Watched some of the news footage of the scrums/fights and wondered if I had stumbled across a new Jeremy Kyle on the road show! I'd hope people caught sight of themselves and felt embarrassed...I suspect they won't though!

    Exiled_Addick's post says it all.

    Got paid yesterday, yet to do majority of Christmas shopping and still couldn't really give a sh*t about Black Friday.

    Rather shop in my own time rather then being lured by a not really that impressive discount.

    In reference to pornhub. Black Friday is actually relevant as they did a Black Friday 20% discount off premium membership....

    BLACK FRIDAY

    Because only in America do people trample, kick, grab, push and punch each other for material things on sale exactly one day after celebrating being thankful for what they already have!

    Black Friday can do one - along with trick or treat and the "high school prom"....

    Along with McDonald's, creepy children's beauty paegents, fat people that have no control over their greed or are NOT ashamed.

    What else?...

    Took me 2 hours to get a 4 pack of special brew and a small pork pie for only £9. Living the dream.

    I'd like to state that NO fellow shoppers were injured in any way during my shopfest at Bluewater yesterday....as far as I know.

    Neither were any goods smashed, trashed or mashed.

    It was a totally civilised mission, accomplished with decorum and respect for others at all times.

    And I should like to disassociate myself completely from those middle aged "shoppers" mentioned earlier by VG, for obvious reasons.

    Finally, I would add that the bloodied blades on the wheels of my motorised scooter took a mere 30 minutes to clean.

    I never see the need to pay for those sites, but I guess it depends what you're into.

    Norwegian air doing some cheap flights from Orlando across the atlantic, if your prepared to land somewhere else in europe.
    Just bagged a flight from Orlando to Copenhagen flying 24/08/15 for £141.00.
    Add another £25 for extra leg room, and another £25 for a suitcase, and that aint a bad flight for under £200.
    Day or two in Copenhagen and a flight to Gatwick for £33.

    I witnessed Black Friday in Florida a couple of years ago. Bloody hell, you think people go nuts over here!

    Outlet mall was like a scene from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

    Shops are mahem avoid them like the plague! Tried it last year and lasted 2 minutes before storming out. The prices are reasonably reduced and there are usually some massive electrical discounts but not worth being crushed for. Im supposed to be going to an Ann summers party that night though and I wonder if that would hold the same sort of discount.

    They have black Friday here ? Thought it was just an American thing.
    Like everything in America it always crosses the pond!
    It's getting bigger over here
    It's here is France this year too!

    Load of old tosh.

    Some people understand it that we have to have a burnt English breakfast tomorrow - it's all getting rather confusing.

    Halloween's weird here too - the kids don't understand why I don't have any sweets and say 'trick' when I answer the door.

    Not to mention the tooth fairy, who apparently is in fact a mouse!

    In the Middle East a lot of places are having white Friday. Apparently in Arabic when you say Black Friday it means an ugly Friday.
