What comes to mind when you think of Black Friday?

Laptops, wide-screen televisions, and a turkey-fuelled lust for shiny things at knockdown prices?

Yeah, us too.

But if rolling commentary from EWN Twitter account is anything to go by, the Friday following Thanksgiving is a clear illustration of countless people's grim financial circumstances.

While grappling over bumper packs of toilet roll could sum up the hysteria which generally descends once the last morsel of Thanksgiving turkey has been consumed, many people feel a recent Twitter upload is an indictment of significant economic hardship.

"Jesus this is terrible. People are fighting over TVs and they are fighting over toilet paper!" commented one.

"Just a tragic illustration of the low household income of millions of South Africans," wrote one.

"What hurts me is that most people will then not survive the rest of the next month because of money spent impulsively today," added another.

Meanwhile in the UK, reports of a stabbing during a Black Friday sale in Leeds City Centre have begun circulating.

While full details have yet to be confirmed, it is understood an off-duty police officer was stabbed after confronting a shoplifter in a branch of HMV.

A young woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery of the bodies of two young children.

The exact age of the youngsters is still unknown, but the suspect is believed to be 24-years of age.

No one else is currently being sought in connection with the deaths.

Police in England found the children with stab wounds after they were called to an address in Bradford, West Yorkshire, at 11.28am.

A spokesman said law enforcement was contacted after paramedics attended a call-out.

Both children received treatment at the scene but were pronounced dead a short time later, police said.

Inquiries are continuing.

We certainly know how to make the most of a beer garden 'round these parts. 

Indeed, if there's a hint of sunshine – even in the depths of winter – hoards of Irish folk are more than happy to transfer outdoors to finish their pints and chats. 

Gas heater switched on; an extra geansaí applied; a sturdy disposition: with the right, can-do attitude even freezing temperatures and the occasional sprinkling of rain can be cheerfully endured. 

However, we could only shake our heads in wonder when we spotted two particularly hardy chaps finish their beer garden pints… while waist-deep in flood water. 

With the nearby river bursting its banks amid heavy rainfall over the weekend, a pair of patrons at the Kirkstall Bridge Inn in Leeds very much took matters into their own hands.

John Kelly and Steve Holt, the plucky individuals in question, run the Kirkstall Brewery that owns the pub. They told BuzzFeed they were "irked by the river’s inconsiderate nature" and decided to reclaim it by taking their beers outside.

And while the water was initially only knee-deep, the flooding continued until it soon reached their waists.

The pair reported afterwards that "the beer was spot on… but we only had a couple". They eventually departed when they "got told off by Steve’s missus and had to get out".

Reckless; dangerous; just a bit of good fun? Well, they're all over social media anyway. And one thing's for sure too – a bit of November beer garden chill doesn't seem so bad now after all.
