Hmmm …
That’s new trousers ordered, than …
I have to admit, I’m mildly thankful: that online shopping exists.
It meant that, yesterday? I was able to order some new trousers via Amazon.
All good: they should turn up by the middle of the week.
I have a confession to make, though.
They weren’t on any kind of Black Friday offer.
I’m thankful, as strange as it seems.
As you may or may not know, Black Friday is the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday: a US public holiday.
And, from what I’ve seen? It’s a day many Americans book off from work: to turn the Thanksgiving into a long weekend.
And go Christmas shopping.
The problem I with Black Friday?
Isn’t on grounds of rampant consumerism promoted by various businesses.
It’s the fact that companies in the UK are started marking Black Friday: as many did, yesterday.
Marking a shopping day after someone else’s public holiday.
It’s cultural imperialism of the worst possible sort.
The sort British companies quite happily volunteer for.
