Fisherman Mike Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) We've had Pheasants at Aldi now we have Peasants at Tescos.! and they are revolting. Just been in to the local Tescos to grab a sandwich for Lunch.. The scenes are almost post apocalyptic…fighting, brawling, yelling, pushing, shoving amongst the peasants all to get £50 quid off a cheap Korean TV which has been probably marked up by a £100 anyway. Never ceases to amaze me how the less principled behave when there is the possibility of getting something for next to nothing…they seem to reduce themselves to almost Neanderthal principles. I'm sure the guy I saw pushing and jostling with a young woman about a tenth of his size was the missing link. Morons !

Zetter Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) If you want to know what happens when civilisation collapses black Friday at Tesco's / Asda ect is a taster. After seeing if there was anything interesting on Amazon this week during black friday week I do have a suspicion that a lot of stuff especially electronics is being bought for later sale on the likes of Ebay. I did see a nice set of walki talkies that I was pondering for when me and a mate are pigeon shooting next year and they went within 30 seconds. To be honest I cant be ***** with it not worth the aggro and stress for saving twenty quid. Edited November 28, 2014 by Zetter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am sure black friday, and the online sale, are the reason I couldn't send texts or get decent internet yesterday! It will be like newyears, when so many people text happy new year, the system can't cope. So many people were on their mobile devices at midnight wanting to snag a bargain, that I think it overloaded the system! I work in one of the supermarkets, and the security and crowd control methods deployed were ridiculous! Having to draft in private security, and hire fencing for a one day sale is a joke! By the time they pay extra wages, and hire costs, they are not maoing a profit. So why bother at all. Do it ALL online. That way it avoids all the loutish behaviour.

wymberley Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Just another sales pitch designed to relieve us of even more of our hard earned dosh and imported from the good old US of A. Except, of course, we didn't get to have the Thanksgiving party yesterday. Now, there's an idea - we could have that shindig and eat turkey, keeping goose for Christmas. We would import them too, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan. Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes I must admit I don't like how the powers above want us to become American bit by bit, they don't even have anything worth buying! Most stuff you will need to rebuy the year after anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 On the news this morning it showed people literally trampling each other as the doors opened and all just to get a TV. The world's gone mad I tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Staying at home today. Didn't even know about Black Friday till my daughter came round and told me about it and showed me the video of Tesco riots with Police there in London. Glad I did my shopping on Tuesday. Total madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOTTO Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Black as the ‘Pit of Hell’ Friday is the perfect example as to the depths which some aspects of humanity will instantly descend in their greedy worthless pursuit of perceived self-interest!

del.gue Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I thought it was odd that one "bargain hunter" felt it necessary to keep his face covered with a scarf while struggling to get to whatever box of **** he was after!!

fern01 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Why not go the whole hog and have Halloween on Black Friday, make it a tradition that everyone has to wear a baseball cap the wrong way round and eat lunch at McDonalds.

B&Q advertising Makita 18v drills .... one day only £72 ..... Thinks this has to be a come-on ( Limited stock ) but no ... loads in store .... quite pleased ( My old one went to drill grave yard yesterday ). Good timing.
