Am I alone in thinking Black Friday is rather an unfortunate nickname? Black implies gloom, the Grim Reaper, disaster, trouble. The Black Death. The Black Prince.

Gold Friday seems more appropriate. A day when people spend and make Gold.

"Black" refers to the time when shops move from negative trading (in the red) to profit (in the black) at the start of the major shopping season.

What a sad and pathetic bunch we now become and When I worked in the supermarkets I learned about all the stores secrets, people will buy if they think they getting a deal just look carefully at the prices on BOGOF.

If you think your grabbing a reduced price TV you are wrong, if you think your buying good quality then you need to be sectioned.

£60 knocked off a £399 TV what lies as it was always £249.
