Sales And Silliness

Skint or off to the sales? That is the question. Nothing noble in the mind about it though. People are queuing from 1am. How daft is that? It's hosing down, and there they are, desperate to spend their dosh.
Bonkers! So are the prices. In the Times today are some of the bargains to be fought over. Fancy a pair of bog-standard ankle boots? Yours for £259, down from £370. Or there's a boring stripey jumper for £179, thats £80 cheaper than it was. No surprise why they couldn't sell it.
We are all into leather leggings apparently. The paper's fashionistas say so, and these ones at £479 are called a "no-brainer." I know who the no brainer is and so do you. What is the matter with you people? Thinking the end of the worl is nigh so better spend it now?
My thinking is that the people prepared to lash out this sort of cash are foreigners. Only just getting used to a bit of wealth and they want our stuff. You have to hope so.
