There are many American traditions we Inherit and this Is another.
I saw the adverts that Asda was having a Black Friday with 70 % discount In Bristol and predicted exactly what happened today.
No-way on this earth would I go down there and debase myself by that display of behaviour. I'd rather pay double than lower myself to that feeding frenzy. Beside's Asda Is cheap crap anyway.

There are some American activities that could well be left in America !
At Asda in West Bridgford, Nottingham, the police had to be called as fighting FIGHTING !!!!! broke out. Not just pushing and shoving. Ambulances were called as well, as there were several injuries including one woman who had her arm broken ! There were, apparently several arrests all over the country at similar stores ! For heaven's sake they're like savages !
