  • Transfer jacket is officially not a biking jacket. Motorbike maybe but wouldn't catch mecycling in that.

  • What about recycling?

    What about recycling?

    What about hecycling? Or shecycling?
    Or simply nipping down the pub/cafe/bistro on a* bike when it's a bit cold but not pissing down, not a formal occasion or windy or a race or you're intending to eat a soft-boiled egg or maybe a hard-boiled egg?

  • Seems a tad pricey if just for egg eating activities.

  • But what price can you put on having the finest egg-jacket on the market?

  • Black Friday sale now on the site – shame the sky survey discount won't work now!

  • When did Black Friday become a thing here in the UK?

  • When retailers realised they could make more money!

  • A bit tempted by the GT shoes at 30% off :/

  • As for what price - €8.95 apparently

  • Or are struggling so much that they've had to (temporarily) drop prices before Christmas to try and generate sales.

  • Think it started with the supermarkets following Wal-Mart's acquisition of ASDA. They started doing it, so the others followed. This spilled over to most other areas of retail

    Anecdotally, the Jordan brand bring out a new pair of trainers every Black Friday, and this has had the effect of pushing trainer retailers like Size/Offspring into the fore with it all

    Tl;dr = because neoliberalism

  • Sales timed now work quite well (for retailers) as they get a chance well ahead of the rush to make their product the gift, smooth demand and get an idea of how their christmas is going to go.

    I hate Sales. It means we all invite marketing into our lives, filtering it to find bargains rather than paying what we feel things are worth and moving on.

  • The audacity of it! Imagine... Retailers wanting to make money..

  • anyone know when the sale finishes and if it applies instore?

  • ^ Monday and yes.

  • All shit stuff really!

  • Mint green leather town gloves, who's idea was that?

  • Damn I waited too long to buy a transfer jacket at the sale price -20% ... Stupid Black Friday sale hahah

  • Dam waited too long for glove bundle code not working

  • GT shoes for £210 not a bad deal, given the factors retail for £240 most other places.

  • It's Thursday! Isn't anything sacred anymore, even cynical retail ploys to sell the shiz that isn't selling normally?
