What is this 'Black Friday' business all about, and why is it called 'Black Friday' anyway???

It's an American thing Alex. Did you have your head in the sand last November?? :grin: The American shops call it Black Friday as it's the day after Thanksgiving where shops sell stuff cheap and they traditionally went from being in "The Red" to being in "The Black" i.e Profitable. Sadly it's made it across the Atlantic to us....even though we don't do Thanksgiving Holiday. :question:

Last year it was an excuse for people to have a ruck over cheap tellies and tat that they wouldn't normally buy :grin:

Just out of interest, I have just got Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 from John Lewis, matching Curry's Pc World at £39.99...Bargain!! :smile:

A quick Wiki Google and you can probably blame Currys for starting Black Friday in the UK :biggrin:

One of the UK's first black Friday events took place in 2003 in Staples Corner London, hosted by UK retailer Currys.

Err, no, but thankfully I still managed to miss it! And we have shingle down here, not sand! I like the American's, but why do we have to slavishly copy almost everything they do, ie the prom, halloween, etc., and now this Black Friday malarkey!

Still don't know why it's BLACK Friday? Why not Yellow or Red for example?!
