Black Friday: Social media reaction

Black Friday, when stores sell goods at knock-down prices the day after Thanksgiving Day in the US seems to be a trend in the UK as well.

Last year's Black Friday saw shoppers in the UK fighting over bargains, websites crashing and delivery companies struggling to cope.

This year some retailers have brought in more security to prevent customers fighting over discounted items, while others such as Asda have withdrawn from the event completely.
