Classic British Flight Sim

Thanks for that - the concept of a 'sale' had completely eluded me.

The premise for this thread is the sudden emergence, in Britain, of a sale the day after an American public holiday.

New ideas on exactly what Black Friday might be, and how it may have originated:

Good Riddance Celebrations Perhaps? ,

Not from me Joe, and I'm sure not from anyone who has enjoyed the hospitality of the United States. It was a pleasure to induce a monumental hangover in company with your countrymen at Gettysburg last year.

Just keep Black Friday to yourselves, okay ?

IMHO, it's just another example of that filthy word:
GLOBALISATION.

Hi Paul

You knew ,of course, I was just kidding.

Would you be kind enough, and I know you are, not to lump us all into the same basket.
Brits (The English too.. cause there is a difference) ain't the only ones with Scruples you know.

There were a great many people here in the US (note how I worded that) who refuse to support such a feeding frenzy of the greedy. .. I passed up the battery... without regret.

I do understand though, the difference from your perspective. You like what you've got and want to keep it that way.... as you should.



One other thing I should say.
I hold very dear the friends I've made here over the years. Those passed on.. Ian Middleton ,
Leif ( my archnemesis) Harding. yo Leif)

even Mike... - although we started a bit on the Rocks have become like brothers of another mother)

I tried to dead pan that but I just can't help my self

Anyways .
Cheers.

Joe

Joe, of course. Black Friday is the exception , not the rule. Umm...although maybe you can keep Paris Hilton to yourselves aswell. And on that note, why would anyone name a child Paris, when they have the surname Hilton ? I'm pretty damned sure if my surname was Travel-Inn, mum would NOT have christened me Premier.

I'll not have Paris Hilton thank you..
....she's got cooties

Paul
keeping in mind the purpose of the tread.... but since you brought up names...

there is a well known battery business in town that's called Beiter Battery (Pronounced Biter)
the owners name is Richard Beiter.
but every one calls him Dick



goods batteries , I have one in my RV
