This is the continued "Americanisation" of the world by exporting this nonsense. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving - which we don't celebrate. Simple marketing by big chains to get a busy day of shopping in. Another part of American culture we should be resisting

before Thanksgiving

it's crept into Canada ; increasing every year - but not the huge bargains to be got in the US

- yes ; genuine bargains though - not 20% off cack at Asda

i know at least 3 folk who are driving down (5 hr each way - weekend hotel) to get stuff - lot of folk it's an annual pilgrimage

$500 dyson heater here ; $300 in US etc - petrol is 99$ litre today , less in US - so folk load upon kids/family xmas stuff

check out youtube for rammys in shops - we are getting close to the self induced zombie apocalpyse

Walmart tends to attract the bottom feeders

was security guard died when trampled in opening in NY few years back

I thought Black Friday (also mad friday) is when all the P/T drinkers go to the pub?

19th December.

Thats exactly what I call it, Dundee was a Fuquing nightmare on the night on the Friday before Xmas - I stay in Melbourne but was telling them all about it at work.

I've never seen so much people that can't handle a drink, fights, assholes, ladies bitching, bitch fights, agression, I used to be a City Centre guy so the "toon" pubs were all your locals.

Black Friday was just beyond comprehension, never really understand how people can be so nasty to each other, so I was happy to stay at home with a cold beer, the log fire on, the

Christmas tree and decs, and leave them to it.

This frenzy though, no alcohol involved, what a circus, sad.

It's a horrible night to be a barman.

Office parties, folk who don't buy rounds, folk who can't remember their round, having to refuse folk service 10x more than usual etc etc.

None of the bastards tip either.

Yea I agree Friday before Xmas was always Black Friday in the bar/hotel trade etc. Always mad and full of dicks.
