JackanorySFC Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 Just seen a video on Facebook from Tesco in Bursledon this morning, carnage. Poeple ripping stuff off the walls, arguing over kettles and (my favourite bit) some big mush with a trendy beard eventually ripping a Blaupunkt TV off a pair of Doris' half his size after a proper struggle. Seriously, some right old weirdos out there. All that to pay the same as you would have done a few months ago before they whacked the prices up.

Seriously, some right old weirdos out there. All that to pay the same as you would have done a few months ago before they whacked the prices up. Happened to be in Tesco late last night about half an hour before the midnight opening buying a few bits (non Black Friday related). Couldn't believe the amount of people queuing along the length of the store and the amount of mongtards salivating over some of the 'hidden' deals. Actually saw some bloke with a big beard who was probably the one you're talking about. Was hanging around like a vulture waiting for the big reveal. Genuinely felt cleaner as soon as we left (much before the carnarge began). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 Just bought this TV http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/televisions/plasma-and-lcd-tvs/lg-55ub950v-1255901/review Got it for £700, which was a pretty good deal. Place was pretty busy but no fighting or madness. Have a business account with them so we pretty much just went round and took the product codes of what we wanted and someone went and got the stuff from the warehouse. Some people were in a bit of a panic there though. Seems low value stuff cause the most chaos e.g. £40 items for £20 cause a bun fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 Personally of rather pay the higher price and not be surrounded by the dregs of society rioting to buy sh*t they don't need at a price they can't afford because they think they're saving a few quid.

Lighthouse Posted 28 November, 2014 Share Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm not sure they've got the branding right. 'Black Friday' sounds like something bad the IRA did in the 80s.

Twiggy Posted 29 November, 2014 Share Posted 29 November, 2014 As a student, I raided the amazon Black Friday sale... First stop was Ink cartridges which were at the time cheap as chips. Next as my housemates are determined to have a "family" christmas thing, i got their presents, as i strongly dislike them, getting them for 75% off was a bonus! So no complaints from me this year!

Bloo71 Posted 29 November, 2014 Share Posted 29 November, 2014 I always thought 'Black Friday' was the name the Police gave to the last working Friday before Christmas when most people go out to celebrate time off work. This recent phenomenon is a gross American export. Incredibly annoying that we always seem to copy the more vulgar things the USA has to offer.
