Black Friday is Black Friday everywhere

The £99 Tv is actually not a bad one at all. Its a basic standard model discounted from £200 which they sell. I actually recommended it to a friend as the store were doing their deals all weekend and he needs a basic TV rather quickly.

I avoided the shops all weekend but did purchase an online deal for a new vacuum cleaner - and it wasn't even a BF deal but was better than most of the other deals out there that did say they were BF ones.... (Obviously Vaccums are not on the major hit list for BF though... lol)

The only trouble with running the BF sales all weekend, Gizmo, is that almost every store I know about had sold out by (at the latest) 6am

A lot of the online deals were still actually available where I DID look. Yep, some had gone though.

To be honest, I'm surprised you could get on the website, lol

Scruff, I'm confused, you mean to tell me that folks in the UK don't get paid in between 11-30 & 12-25????

sorry if I've made it more complicated than it should be, got a bad head cold so I'm doped up right now

A lot of people get paid monthly or four weekly. But we do have a stupidity for "oh this is on SALE!!"

Unless you're on temp work, most people get paid at the end of the month or on a 4-weeky basis. There aren't many businesses that are willing to do weekly runs; most of them are micro businesses with only a handful of employees, one of whom is the owner.


Some employers do shift the run for December to the last working day before Christmas, but most don't bother.
