Just to prove that secretly we are obsessed with everything American, we have now latched on to '
Black Friday'. Not sure how this is actually applicable, but we just have a big sale for no real reason.
Essentially this just means people wanting to go about their everyday lives have to sit in traffic, because everyone decides they need a tv for a quarter of the price, and we don't have the wide roads and big open retail parks that the US has.
And why the fuck on the last Friday payday before Christmas do old people decide they are going to do their supermarket shopping? They have every fucking day of the week to go shopping, but no, Friday November 29th is the best day. Wouldn't mind if they didn't treat it like a day out, blocking entire aisles off with their trolleys (
shopping carts), or treating them like fricking zimmer frames (
walkers), leaning over. One guy even had toilet paper hanging out of his trousers (
pants)
I'm never getting old.
Thanks Obama.
