        Amazon have done something for Black Friday last few years, usually get a few gems but otherwise its selling off surplus stock, Apple always do something but you are right, more and more UK companies are getting on the band wagon now

          Its the internet (and Apple's) fault. Once the rest of the world discovered America got cheaper prices one day a year the rest of the world had to copy....

              Fights breaking out over discounts in the shops. What in heaven's name is going on? Is this the level of materialism that's infested society? People actually fighting with each other to get discounted consumer goods?

                They've figured out that no one has any cash left after Xmas. The new plan is to get them before they have time to blow their last pay packet before xmas on anything else.

                  It's the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which makes sense as it means cashing in on peoples' desire to do anything to get away from their family - much like Boxing Day sales here. It's also a holiday. I don't understand why we're having it here on a work day; I guess with halloween and now Black Friday, it's only a matter of time until we start celebrating Thanksgiving too.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
