Why have we adopted this American tradition in the first place? They have it just after Thanksgiving. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving.

It is surprising that the word black is used for selfish indulgences to almost creating genocide, yet no body has complained about it being used to sell...!

American nonsense. Give it up, Britain.

Rely on big retailers to follow commonsense practice and not follow American bullshit.

GREED IS GOOD-Thatcherism at its pinnacle

M&S have trained me to wait for the 20% off days in the runup to Xmas. I'm still waiting for my 20%/they're still waiting for my money.

Good idea. Normal sales are adequate.
