Go away Black Friday

Plod at a Cardiff Tesco store

Send Black Friday back over the pond to America and the media madness with it. It’s the main story on TV news this morning people falling through doors, fighting and the internet crashing on most of the major online stores.

Flat screen TV seem to be the main target, the bigger the better along with iPads, and coffee machines high on the target list. There will be lots of disappointment for the late shoppers with the shelves being bare.

The police were called to stores in Cardiff after scuffles broke out. People queued outside Tesco store on Excelsior Road from about 6pm according to local reports waiting for the midnight starting gun to fire. If you weren’t in a queue than you were more than likely tapping away at the internet but you would end up queuing because of the high traffic on all the major stores websites.

There have been reports of looting at some stores around the country more likely to be shoplifting but we know how the media like to exaggerate. Some shoppers have their prized bargains ripped out of their hands in the madness that is Black Friday. Shoppers were limited to one per customer on the bigger items and on most other electrical items.

I will be keeping my money in my pocket.
