Does the UK have anything similar to black Friday (a day or time of the year that retailers simulations have massive sales)?

No but it all starts to build up after Bonfire Night (5th November) which tends to be when shops start putting christmas stuff out

What's bonfire night? I thought November 5th was Guy Fawkes Day?

Same thing. We burn Guy Fawkes and then light fireworks to symbolise what could have happened. Or something.

@Trashleg: England >> Scotland. There, I said something different.

Hmmm, I wonder what percentage of UK sales are from the Scots.

You mean what percentage of UK thefts are by the Jocks right?
We did have that Tuesday last month which was supposed to be the biggest day for online sales and had loads of special offers. I can't remember the tag the press gave it but if anything that's the closest to black friday.

ENGLAND>Scotland.

Oh and Wales is...


erm..

Well at least it's not the south.

Edit: It was cyber monday and it didn't have too many discounts but that's the closest I can think off.
