    Did Black Friday not use to be last Friday of November? You would think it was a marketing ploy rather than a real thing

    Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, which won't always be the last Thursday.

    Which, of course, makes Black Friday a totally real thing and not at all a marketing ploy.

    I am having nothing to do with it whenever it starts. Since last year it seemed to go on for about a month, it meant I saved money before Christmas as I couldn't buy anything for ages. Result!

    Black Wednesday was real. I was in Hull.

    I liked Hull last time I visited. It's Real.

    I have a The Housemartins earworm now and I'm not happy about it.

    I think retailers have realised that paying for lots of server capacity just to handle one self-inflicted traffic spike in November is a bit silly, so they've tried to spread it a bit more this year.
