I know that it's not a holiday for you guys,
but that's no reason you can't have a pleasant day as well.

Or rather it’s been imposed upon us…We have acquired Black Friday though!
H'mm...I don't consider it an imposition - an increase of time-wasting emails notwithstanding, though even that has 'benefits' too.Or rather it’s been imposed upon us…
I consider it an imposition as I don’t recall the GBP crying out ‘we demand that we have Black Friday’…or indeed now ‘Black Friday Week’…and ‘Cyber Monday’…H'mm...I don't consider it an imposition - an increase of time-wasting emails notwithstanding, though even that has 'benefits' too.
No different to 'Boxing Day sales' and 'January sales' etc that we already had really. This one is quite handily timed for early Christmas shopping though. I've nearly got all my wife's gifts already.I consider it an imposition as I don’t recall the GBP crying out ‘we demand that we have Black Friday’…or indeed now ‘Black Friday Week’…and ‘Cyber Monday’…
IMO just an opportunity too many take to flog stuff to the unwary…and in many instances to con folk into buying stuff that they think is a bargain when it isn’t.
Yes of course the informed can get bargains…but what I see is a charter and an open door for the disingenuous and unscrupulous.
Fortunately I can just ignore it all as accumulation of ‘stuff’, other than what I actually need, is pretty low on my ’to-do’ list.
