I got the X36 from Sunderland to Newcastle this afternoon and the Traffic around Boldon was mental, due to everyone going into Asda, I have also been in both The Bridges and Eldon Square today and the ques were ridiculous, the que for Game in Eldon Square was out of the Door, elsewhere such as HMV and Currys/PC World there was barely any room to get past people, I was looking for a few Bargains but came home empty handed.The queue in Game at the MetroCentre was out the door too.
The biggest challenge I had was getting round Schuh in Eldon Square could barely move.
I amazed I never lost it at any point today.
My thing with Black Friday is, since when has this become a thing in this country, about two years back some people I know thought it was the Friday before Christmas and you go out and get absolutely pissed, I only knew about Black Friday by references in American TV shows and videos of people going mental trying to grab cheap TV's and stuff like that in shops in America. Also annoys me as this is another step to this country becoming Americanised.
People will go mad for a sale in this country, some people even go to the Next Sale for the store opening at something ridiculous like 5am, have you seen the Next Sale it's just the crap they couldn't sell just with a lower price in a bid to get people to buy things, admittedly when I've been to the Next Sale everything is crap, although I'm not a mental enough to get to Next for 5am to get some cheap T-Shirts.
