    When was the last time you went a whole day without buying anything? In this day and age, is it actually possible to buy nothing for twenty four hours? Supporters of ‘Buy Nothing Day’ think it is. And what’s more, they think we should all try it. At its core, Buy Nothing Day is a protest against the consumerism the organizers felt was necessary in our world, governed by the need to “have things”.

    Black Friday my arse :hattip:

  16. Are we American? Do we celebrate Thanksgiving? - a big NO to both!
    This so called "Black Friday" is a load of nonsense.
    Wonder what the American people think when they see the crowds at our own January Sales in Oxford Street behaving in a similar fashion just after Christmas?
    Are people really that desperate for a "bargain"?
    What does it say about human nature?
    I find the whole thing very sad ........ :(
