Happy Black Friday

Black Friday.

Almost unheard of in the UK two years ago. Now it's everywhere you look.

I suppose it makes a kind of sense in a nation that's just celebrated Thanksgiving. It would fit in here too if we could invent a public holiday to brighten the relentless November grey.

As it is we don't get the extra turkey dinner, but we do have to put up with the consumer madness this unwelcome import has unleashed.
