My daughter was determined to buy one of those tellies they were all fighting about on friday.
She got herself up, took herself off to the asda in Aintree arriving at quarter to seven (sale started at eight).
She said there were about forty people in front of her and when the sale started they let them in ten at a time.
According to her everyone queued in an orderly fashion and assistants told people behind her in the queue that if they were after a telly they probably wouldn't get one, a lot of these people left though the queue was packed by eight o clock apparently.
Anyway she managed to buy her telly no problem and still got home and got the kids to school on time.
She was lucky I suppose but contrast her experience in much maligned Liverpool with all those people near killing each other in other parts of the country, Manchester springs to mind.
