I have been watching those idiots at the sales, only on T V as I wouldn't go near the shops today.
Frenzied wild eyed examples of our gentle female sex grabbing 6, yes SIX, handbags, trampling over clothes and other people to obtain their so called bargains after queuing since 4 am this morning.
"Spending a million pounds a minute" quotes someone, lies, but brilliant advertising to pull out all those that now think that they are missing out
There are no such things as bargains, there are items that are on sale that make a lesser profit than normal for the retailer, there are items that previously were on sale at ten times the price in some out of the corner of the U K, ( to comply with, or bend, the law ).
Two simple changes in the law would help to stop this great con. All items on sale must have been on display on those premises during the three months prior to sale, and, the price tag must only display the current price, no reference can be made to previous prices.
This would prevent retailers from buying in special cheap lines often made in the sweat shops around the world and buyers would not be influenced by the amount that they believe they are saving.
No, of course it won't happen.
Rant over.

You won't find me anywhere near the sales!
