Just wondering if anyone is planning to engage in the "[word removed] Friday experience.
Apparently there will be cheap tellies (even if they are the old model) but someone might clobber you with a man bag or push you over.
Seems a bit risky but I suppose there might be some real gems out there if you know what to do and where to look.

No according to Which (the old folk’s magazine) BF is mostly a con.

As a marketting tactic it seems to work to varying degrees, con or not, and let's be honest, the point of retail outlets is to make money. Having worked in retail as a 'Christmas elf' for the last 15 years or so, I've seen the 6am queues of customers ... seems to keep them happy and returning. Personally I'd prefer they did more 'Black Friday' events and closed on Boxing day to give everyone a couple of days off at Christmas  Rog |

I wouldn't say a con, if you want something that happens to be on offer that day/week then buy it.
I picked up a £600 coffee machine one year for £300, it does sometimes drop to that price at other times of the year, but i wanted it, had the cash so purchased it.
This year i wanted a Ring alarm system for the new house, price was reduced so i purchased one at a lower price and an extra camera, happy days.

Nope.. I woz tempted by a rather interesting pair of shoes.. most unusual design but then I had this thought
Where would I wear them?
Don't think they'd keep me upright scrambling over the Worm, though its very tempting to think ..What the heck and ave a go......

Rog Oh Rog I have some lovely shoes...it is a weakness, a failing in an otherwise perfect individual....... ... but I do not own lots n lots and there are none there that have not been worn. I just now need .. well maybe I don't need specific places to wear them. I did think to take pictures of where the boots took me... yes one pair is brightly coloured boots the others are multicoloured 'sensible' lace ups. the ones in the wardrobe are frivolous dancing shoes however those have been worn many times. |

I currently only have 3 pairs of shoes.
A pair of durable Paul Smith leather shoes and two pairs of Ralph Lauren trainers. All second hand on eBay.
Not big on shoes. Well size 11 so fairly big but not a shoe collector.
I will wear shoes until they start falling off then put new (used) ones on.
