Actually, today "Black Friday" is the second day of York's Christmas market, St Nicholas Fayre, when the ancient streets in the centre are taken over by market stalls, musicians, street theatre and fun. Enjoyed it so much last night that I'm going again today.

Hope that you all enjoy it too, but don't waste it queuing in awe of the gods of consumerism.

Two Black Friday WalMart brawls of 2013.

The first one is in Elkin, North Carolina. Watch the guy in orange in the center of the screen starting at 0:05 as he wrestles a customer on the floor for an HDTV. At 0:45, the cameraman was told to stop filming and leave.



The second one location unknown. At first people fighting over HDTVs. Then at 0:38, a fight between two women break out, police step in and arrest one of them, wrestling her to the ground.

Weird, there's no reason for it. Presume it's because Asda is the UK subsidiary of Walmart. Still, at least no one's waving guns. Yet.....

Damn, how thin is the air up there on your high horse?

My point is that the Black Friday phenomenon in the UK is so far largely restricted to US-based or owned retailers and not a general thing.

Plus it's not unusual for Black Friday in the US to involve the use or the threat of use of firearms, thankfully something that's the remotest of possibilities in the UK.

And the view from up here is just wonderful, thanks.
