Really? ???

Those people aren't stupid as a rule, but normal everday people who live next door, made temporarily insane by the power of advertising. Quite frightening.

I never made it to the shops. Guess I'll just have to hang on to my money for another year.

Unless,  of course,  I come across a cheap daewoo.

Anyone seen any tyre retailers doing black friday deals?

Only Halfords but you really don't want to go there (probably still not competitive).

Try Event Tyres and see if they are in your area as I have a discount code somewhere (found it NOV10 gets £10 off)

Not bad actually, 4 Goodyears F1's at £95 each before the code, and £40 cashback!
For the Zafa.

No I think you are mistaken. Two stories. The people fighting in the shops weren't all doctors.

Actually it is all Lord of The Flies stuff. I have been saying for many many years that a lot more of this dark stuff goes on than anyone ever imagines. The fighting in the shops is a modern creation of blasted marketing men

Ah Currys, at 12.15am I had a little look about, Currys was about a half hour wait on the website, but PC World, the same company, was only about 10 minutes....... ::) ::) ;) I hung on and got on but nothing special that interested me... Swmbo and I were out shopping this afternoon and saw nothing of what has been on the news, we would have avoided anyway as we had a list we simply want to complete and it was simply a coincidence that we were out today.................. :)

Havant turned into a CP on Friday around lunchtime. >:(  Major approach roads both North & South were choked to a standstill.  Presumably certain ppl couldn`t wait to be parted from their cash so some cars just abandonded on yellow lines with the hazards left on.   A PLANK driving his BMW then sat & blocked  a 4 way junction as the lights turned against him. >:( I slowly made my way souththru this lot to the Motorway.  Free from the mad ppl I didn`t spare the horses, as I blasted sweet music out of my Yama & headed west 8)
