You know you’re an old U.K. person when you can remember when #BoxingDay wasn’t yet another retail sales orgy in the U.K. Feels like another legacy of the Thatcher shift to US style individualism and consumerism that has so corroded British culture.
I’ve noted since I’ve lived in France how fixated on retail sales data the U.K. is. The sign of a messed up economy you’d have to think.
