Post by paolo »

Anyone taking part?

people queuing from 2am?

For what?

car parking stress, crowds, shit marked up for a month before coming on sale?

are there any genuine door crashers?

You mean the capitalist meaning of Christmas, surely?

I'm not taking part in the sales. Feel as though I've spent too much on Christmas already.

Nothing. If people want to spend Boxing Day fighting over a DVD/TV combi with 25% off, that's entirely up to them. Not my money they're wasting.

They're in constant state of angst all year round. I'm not sure whether angry people are attracted to the Daily Mail or reading the Daily Mail makes you angry. Either way - best avoided.

There's nothing modern about it, Boxing Day sales have been around for at least 30 years probably longer.

Sometimes it's fun to read an article and try and guess what angry Anti Everything slant the comments will take.

I don't know fella. Pity everyone can't just stay in the country of their birth. Would make everything a lot more straightforward.

Maybe strong borders, strict regulations and a responsible drip feeding approach with a duty to the people already living there would be a good start

What if you were born on a planet over the ocean?

Looking at the picture, if it is from Britain, there would appear to be two white men on about 150 other people

And the two white men were polish lorry drivers
