Hmmm …
You DO know it’s what’s known as Black Friday, don’t you?
In other words it’s the day after Thanksgiving: the US holiday. And a major shopping event.
Personally? I’ve got no problem with anyone in the US having a long weekend, and taking advantage of shopping deals. I see it as the US equivalent of the Boxing Day sales, seen — in the past — here in the UK.
I have no problem with that.
What bothers me?
Is that shops in the UK have started to have Black Friday events.
I, personally, object.
As the day is a shopping day the day after a US holiday.
Here in the UK?
Here in the UK, Thanksgiving is not a public holiday.
Why the hell we’re marking the shopping day AFTER a holiday we don’t mark, I don’t know.
Especially after last year, when seriously assaults were reported*?
Ye gods!
