GN's camping out remote may be missing out on the latest Americanisation of the way we live. Apparently there are 2 types of Black Fridays - the traditional one when Friday happens on the 13th of the month and the latest Yankee import which is Friday after Thanksgiving. I thought "Thanksgiving" was every 2nd Thursday when the pension was deposited into your bank account but that ain't so no more.
This is being pushed by retailers as in YankeeLand it signifies the starrt of the Christmas shopping frenzy, so the bottom line is that there's a dollar to be made.

Who says Christmas don't come early.
PS: Stuff the yanks black Friday, so what happens next year is it black Saturday.

Grow your hair. Play some loud music. Remember when you were younger. Call it Black Sabbath.
Stuff the yanks. Black Friday at least in Victoria commemorates the 13th Jan 1939 when devastating bush fires destroyed huge areas in the state with high loss of life. This should be remembered by those retailers who think it is a good marketing move, it may just backfire.
have to take the good with the bad though.
