Yeah but as I said black friday in uk relates to the amount of fights,
So you have seen news footage of "black friday" in the US then. :-) Pushing, shoving, and in some cases fighting. I was told yesterday by a neighbor that a fist fight broke out over the last digital picture frame that was on sale at the local store.
In the past few years black friday in the US has come to describe the friday following thanksgiving thursday. Many retail stores open as early as 4-5am with lines waiting out side to grab up items with deep dicount prices. Supplies of the most popular items are always very limited of course, so competition can be ugly.
PS.
Here's pretty good example of a tame store opening yesterday morning on youtube. (friday)
