There are of course the odd ones open which people are said to be queuing up since 3am in order to get a bargain, apparently its much worse in places where all shops are open like normal the next day as people really hurt each other in order to be there first. I didn't go out and even today we went to a really quiet part of the city in order to miss it all. Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969241757724716562noreply@blogger.com
