Black Friday here means when countless people have lost their lives in bushfires.
Not a time to run out and buy things on sale!
My thoughts..........as you were.......
Those were my thoughts too. It's a very sinister sort of name although apparently it just means that on the day after Thanksgiving in US, the shops were 'in the black', so to speak, with sales.
I think we've lost the battle though to keep it out. I was away up in Albury with my sister and a friend and I could not believe it on Friday night, they were both on ipads & phones, busily shopping or looking at sales till-get this!! 1am in the morning.
Not I, equipped only with my trusty flip phone. I was trying to sleep.
Then I was talking to my husband on Sunday when I got back & he said the local shopping centres were packed, like Christmas. People fighting over car parks.
I did notice it was on all my internet sales sites in the days before, with special offers.
Was ebay running any sort of promotion?
