Boxing Day. The day after Christmas, when the shops re-open and life slowly makes its way out of the Christmas haze.
Boxing Day was always the start of the sales in the big retail outlets, such as Curry's or Dixon's, giving discounts on all sorts of electrical goods. I remember buying my first TV in one of these sales.
But when did this change to the first day of any sales, electronic or clothes? Everything was open today. I was surprised. Everyone was out trying to get a good bargain.
Although considering that in most places the sales had begun before Christmas, there was nothing that I saw that was an amazing bargain. The excitement of the Christmas sales seems to have lost its lustre for me this year.
