"Black Friday" is a thing in the UK? It's barely a thing in Canada.

They've been trying really hard to push it here for the past few years, but I don't know anybody who really cares. At the most some people might defer buying something they were planning to get anyway to see if it does actually become cheaper (unlikely).
