Cut the queues in the Black Friday pandemonium and see what having a root around online may find you. “Over the last two years we’ve developed an organised, well-executed plan, but this year customers have told us loud and clear that they don’t want to be held hostage to a day or two of sales”. Anyway, Amazon and Argos have started dropping hints about what they’ll be doing, and there’s going to be a lot of deals indeed.
