I have to honest and say I am not at all enamoured with this particular Americanism, now surfacing in the UK. Already there are problems with a number of individuals, ending up injured or causing public disorder. Why is it that Humans always manage to show their ugly side, (the inside.  ), when it comes to sales etc. Even the UK on-line stores are impossible to view because of demands.  For me. Black Friday, sucks!  I'd like to hear what impact it has over is the USA.  |

Black Friday is a long tradition in america... one that i am personaly not fond of... u get a day off with family only to spend it standing in shopping lines for hours on end to spend money u dont hv... however it is handled well here now because the craze has evolved slowly unfortunately for the uk u r getting all of the maddening lines and crazies without the preparation training and experience that comes from years of practice... dont worry Cg it will get better eventually when stores learn how to prepare staff and inventory for black friday |

Hi mandomaniac. The UK never seems prepared. We get surprised by a light fall of snow at Christmas, and the trains grind to a halt, (or it's "leaves on the track"). Thanks for the encouragement. +1 Karma. Me. I'm keeping out of the shopping lines till tomorrow, when I want a loaf of bread without the mad crush.  |

Hmm...
Over here, we don't have such a thing. Judging from the comments, I am glad that that's the case.
But oh GOOD GRIEF, I can tell you a _lot_ about screwed public transport. Deutsche Bahn apparently invented "being surprised about ... _basically fragging everything_ and then screwing the passengers"... Gnarrrrrrrrrrf!!

If you like superheroes or robots- that's your movie. Including a nifty main theme.
