People not happy in what they already have. Greedy selfish people that are not happy but waste money on useless crap.

Is super Saturday followed by shit Sunday and mundane Monday ?

Don't shop at Next retail

Remember when we had red phone boxes? Well we all got mobile phones to make it easier, so they died. Well shops are the same, people have got internet now, they are going to die, but some just wont accept it yet.

I don't know what Super Saturday is, but it definitely sounds too posh for me. SuperSaturday

Here in Spain, there are also heavy discounts, but very, very few people out shopping today. Even the supermarkets are quiet. Christmas had become too comercial & for many has now lost its appeal.

if bournemouth was anything to go by, ....... !

Super Saturday... wtf are you talking about now

The false hope of capitalism.

Just got completely scammed by Argos_Online. Told 3 days ago I could order and collect a Lego Ninjago blue stormbringer for £22 at Hammersmith store today from 9am. Now, in store today say hasn't arrived but I can reorder for tomorrow, BUT now £34.99. christmasripoff

RMTunion are the reason nobody is shopping on the high street. Saturday is off limits shopping for the foreseeable future as it has now become a standard day off for RMTunion turkeys... Scrooged

Getting wound up trying to find a parking space, then getting impeded by some old fart who stops walking as they enter a shop door, then having to negotiate the legions of buggies, before finally ending up with the Robocop boxset for the wife as there is nothing else. No thanks.

Make it so!
