Well I guess it was yesterday. I did manage to say thanksgiving to an actual American though. He knows who he is.
Black Friday has always been a fascinating topic of conversation in the UK, since its slowly becoming an imported tradition. As far as I can tell Black Friday sales only began a few years ago - at least online - with Amazon selling Wiis and Xbox 360s for £50: a pretty amazing bargain even by today's standards.
This is the first year I've seen (or to better put it, noticed) any sort of in-store Black Friday promotions. ASDA (aka Walmart UK), Tesco, and Argos all seem to have sales of some description. But to be perfectly frank with you, most of the deals they are advertising are shit.

I was going to write more, but I do not know when you are reading this but a police helicopter has just crashed into a pub in Glasgow. The pub is in the city centre by the riverside and is normally full to the brim on a Friday night.
Keep these people in your prayers, because this could be anything - there is one police helicopter in Scotland and it has crashed into a full pub on a Friday night. I don't think anyone I know is there but there is every possibility they may have been, at present we do not know how many people have been injured or killed.
