how much more of this crap is on the way...
I don't ever want to hear the words 'Black and Friday and Deal' ever used in the same sentence again.

I don't understand Black Friday. I can see what the likes of Amerby & Ezon get out of it with their selling fees. I can also see how all the courier companies benefit but I struggle to see what the retailers really get out of it. Squeezed margins in the hope of selling volume but f "everybody" is doing the deals where's the competitive edge? Busy fools comes to mind and selling on price is a recipe for doom in my book. Mind you, might also explain why we've never floated any of our businesses for £200m....

'Black Friday' refers, originally, to a Friday in September 1869 when a load of investors tried to corner the gold market in America. The government found out about it and released $4m of gold into the market which wiped out the speculators.

I'm afraid we have all got to get used to the American take over of our culture. I see on the latest ( Koka Kola advert,) Christmas has been down graded to " Holidays are coming" !!! Still, perhaps we will all look back with rose coloured glasses at this period in history when the Chinese take over completely. I'm now off to night school to learn Cantonese. Reg 
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Reg, that Cola ad. has been Holidays are Coming for a number of years.
I thought there was a request out for it not to be shown this year due to the sugar content and childhood obesity... Not that it would make any difference...

I see that their Wagon is now doing the rounds of UK Cities.
Rumour has it that they are seeking young boys to run into the road afterwards, pretending to have just missed it

Can't beat an American bonneted tractor unit for presence I guess!  Though I'd rather go Scania or Volvo for pure  ability...
