Boxing Day!


Yes Christmas is over and what all you folks out there were waiting for is on...BOXING DAY (the time till you delay your shopping to save some bucks).
This was the first time I got a chance to witness one, most shops on the high street and in the malls had it on the right day, the day following Christmas, but then there were also the other lot...SALE SALE SALE thursday 7 am to 8 pm and those starting even before 5am to 7 pm. For God's sake this is the time in winter that you don't see the day light till 8am or even later.
Anyways money talks and talk it did and big time. I went for some window shopping myself, the Debenham's , M&S and what not. There was clothing for just £2 but believe me you wouldn't consider wearing one even if it were free, the real deal had offers too a couple of sterling off, so its not for you unless you are there to furnish out around a hundred bills. It was however a lot of fun to watch.
Then there was a queue outside NEXT, infact two - one for people to get in and one to get out. Can you believe it, people are paying to stand on the road wait for hours in queues for something they haven't even seen beforehand, but must be worth it cause the banner " upto 70% off on sale items" says so.
It was sort of funny, I don't know particularly why, but it must have been the men, women and even children being policed to pay.
