Please can nobody tell Tommy and Stench it has nothing to do with skin colour.
I am hoping they will boycott the forum for the day.

I have pre-empted it by buying a new PC this morning. My old one still works, but is 8 years old, runs dog slow and is running Windows 7 , with little compatibility with modern software.
Got £100 off. Which is ok.

There was an article the other day proving that many articles touted as bargains on Black Friday are actually cheaper after Christmas....and have previously sold for cheaper throughout the year.
As in many sales, prices are hoisted up pre sale so they can legally claim they are now slashed.

Ordinary sales don't create urgency. Going with the season increases the momentum of the flow.
