The train now arriving..............

picture of train, South Shields Metro Station

South Shields Metro Station

A rather dismal and damp scene at the Metro Station on Sunday as a few shoppers come to town, they weren't keen on standing in the rain. I found out yesterday that the day after Thanksgiving in the USA is known as Black Friday, a day when retailers traditionally go into the black (financially). This is because it is a HUGE shopping day, the first shopping day of the Christmas season, I wonder if we should have an "official" first day of the season here?

Black Friday is also a good day to buy really cheap electronics, if you are willing to stand in line over night. Many stores will advertise a very low price on something, but there will be very limited stock. For instance, one store advertised $99 PCs, complete with CRT monitor & Office Home. The catch is that they only had 4 or 5 in the store (they did not tell you the actual number), so you needed to get there very early. I awoke at 4:30am on Friday, decided I would pay regular price, and promptly fell back asleep.
