Black Friday

[J4CKO]

I wonder if the Daily Mail will stop rattling on about people having "Flat Screen TV's" now ?

Another triumph of Yankee crap being brought into the UK. About time we grew up and stopping importing their worst stuff and had some of their good ideas instead.

Indeed. If we had their readily available firearms too, the footage i saw on TV would have been even funnier, AND we'd have less scumbags on the street aftewards - win/win

I reserved a Montane Prism jacket in Go Outdoors over the web on Thu night as they were down from £90 to £60 (and had been recommended in a thread on here).

I went after work on Friday expecting the place to be busy - more like around 5 customers in total and not one of them tried to wrestle my jacket out my hands when I went to pay.

Polaroid jackets are the item to have.

So, did anyone get any bargains?

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who was lucky enough to get a crap POS 'Polaroid' TV, or a last gen iPad...'lol'.

is there evidence to back up the claim that a Polaroid TV is, to quote, "a crap POS"

Polaroid don't make TV's. The name is probably licensed as it's one punters recognise and therefore seems marginally better than the many other "brands" the lowest-price-bidder chinese production line will be churning out alongside it's supermarket orders. a bottom of-the-range samsung or LG would probably put it shame.

Anyway, I went to work and earnt hundreds of pounds to buy stuff at marginally higher prices at my leisure with. I'm failing at this aren't I?

Didn't Polaroid go bankrupt a few years ago? I was sure they did.

I watched jingle all the way the other day.

Sums up this quite nicely I thought but a lot funnier.

It would be nice to think that all those savings on the crap tellys have been donated to Crisis at Christmas.

If you blow on it, and give it a flap it only takes about 30s.
