If you're referring to me, then I'll respond as and when I like to what I choose. Not to suit anyone on here. That quite clear? :)

Oh, and yes, it is people looking for a pre Christmas bargain,for what other reason are they queuing up before midnight waiting on the doors opening?
If they choose to knock lumps out of one and other it is of zero consequence to me, as I'm not stupid enough to turn up for what was always going to be a free for all.

If you go on a bull run don't come crying to me if you get trampled!

It's a mass stampede that has been witnessed many times in the January sales, forgive me if I don't join in with what imo is fast becoming a permanently outraged, moral high ground taking, offended at everything public.



:D

Not you dude, keep your hair on.Was early doors in the thread.
 
He is talking about me and my attitude towards is the same as yours
 
Would be hilarious if tomorrow's deal was 915's for £150 I don't think the snob mob would be long in queuing with the riff raff.

Typical British media focusing on the negatives, maybe next year we will have to wear a hard hat and high vis should we want to que. That ought to satisfy the do-gooders that want something done about the discounts!

I think it's hilarious that people are fighting over Blaupunkt and Polaroid TV's. Mr Tesco will be laughing himself to sleep tonight when he sees that the backlog of **** tele's they've been stockpiling have sold.

Have you actually tried one of the Blaupunkt TV's???
My Son wanted a new telly for his bedroom last Christmas. With the budget we had in mind (we have four kids to buy for so Christmas is quite expensive in our house) we were looking at getting a 24" one.
Then I noticed a Blaupunkt 32" LED reduced from £249.00 to £100.00 on the Tesco website. Couldn't believe it. Cheaper than half price.
Thought a mistake had been made but ordered one anyway, expecting to receive an email back saying "sorry we are out of stock".
But the telly was duly delivered to our local store two days later. Later the same day, the price went back up to £249.00
My Son loves it, and to be fair, the picture quality is very good. He uses his ps3 through it for gaming and blu-rays and we are very impressed. Also has Freeview built in and the PQ is also very good on that.
Would I have paid £249.00 for it? I doubt it. That price brought a few other makes into the equation with better perceived build quality, and I would have dismissed the Blaupunkt out of hand. But we weren't prepared to spend that sort of money anyway.
But for £100.00 it was an absolute steal, and a year on I still consider it to be one of the few really true "bargains" that I have ever bought.

More or less what I was driving at with an earlier post. A telly at that price is an absolute steal for some folks.


Unfortunately I've been reduced to comparing steam cleaners, kettles and toasters that will match the incoming new kitchen; not televisions or games consoles! :(
 
these sort of antics have been going on for ages, all thats changed is internet forums have given a platform for people to spout guff.
 
The behaviour of those people was disgusting. If it has been going on for ages then it's still just as disgusting and uncivilised.

OK, there may well be some genuine bargains but I would rather stick pins in my eyes than be part of that rabble.
