Black Friday? Yes, tech vendors might be feeling a bit glum looking at numbers for the UK

It's worse than Christmas...

So my understanding is that Black Friday originated in the US as the day after Thanksgiving - essentially their equivalent of Boxing Day.

However, here in Blighty, retailers have tried to co-opt this as yet another sales opportunity.

Only as usual, they can't leave well alone, and what started as a single day of sales, has somehow morphed into Black Friday Week, and then Black Friday Month.

Is it any wonder then that the public, in general, have gone MEH!
