    It's an American thing where all the shops there have big sales on that day. The last couple of years shops in England have been trying to make it a 'thing' here, except for the deals over here are generally not really deals at all - they just put the prices up the week before instead to bring them back down again for the 'sale'.

    And followed by Thanks giving.

    So people run around like lunatics trying to grab anything they think they need and want.
    And the following day give thanks to what they have got?

    I have to admit, after reading this post over and over again, I can't think of a suitable reply to it. What am I missing?

    Sick of hearing about it.

    Nothing to do with us.

    More American cultural imperialism.
