Black Friday is here but how did the American retail tradition find its way to the UK?

Black Friday is a term given to the Friday after Thanks Giving in America that began in 1961 in a publication that condemned the use of the term “Black Friday” and proposed the use of a more positive term, for example, “Big Friday” - http://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/ads-l/2011-May/109292.html

Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, when polls estimated the total spent was over $26 billion (£16.5 billion). This has risen over the years to $61 billion (£38.7 billion) spent in 2013 and there is no reason why 2014 won’t beat this figure with even more retailers jumping on to the Black Friday band wagon. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_%28shopping%29

Amazon bought the Black Friday buzz to the UK in 2010 when it began to show discounts on products to UK customers and every year the buzz about the day has grown.

Data from Experian and IMRG suggests that that the key peaks for pre-Christmas online shopping include Cyber Monday (the first Monday in December) and Manic Monday (the second Monday in December). It’s predicted that Manic Monday will see £676.5m in online sales compared to £649.6m on Cyber Monday and £555.5m on Black Friday.
