Black Friday weekend came and went and, personally, I saved a small fortune.

Oh yes, I didn’t go near a shop. And there you have it.

Having said that, I did witness a middle-aged man wearing tracksuit bottoms, brown leather shoes and a duffle coat struggling to get a 55-inch flat screen TV into the back of a taxi that was waiting outside a Swansea Argos store.

The gentleman in question was arguing with the taxi driver and insisting that the said item would fit and eventually it did, but getting it back out in one piece could be another story.

Meanwhile, the wife was furious due to the fact that her husband now insisted that she caught the bus home as clearly there was no room for her in the taxi.

In her temper she screamed “That’s it, I’m off to play bingo and you can stuff the TV where the sun doesn’t shine, you selfish pig”.

Clearly, not an ideal way to start the festive season and I’m sure they are not alone.
