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!
