Christmas Shopping Bargain Hunting On Xmas Day?

The Telegraph reports this morning that a whopping 3.5 million us will be hunting for delicious deals online on Christmas day.

And we’re going to spend £52m!!!

Apparently we’ll be so fed up with our families, fed up with turkey and pudding, and so eager to top up our credit card debt, that a spot of online frittery will be our favoured choice of indigestion remedy.

The Duke of York has said today that The Queen likes to watch her speech by herself.

Spare a thought for our illustrious monarch, as the peak time for this online shopping fenzy is between 3 and 4pm, exactly when she’s on the box.

If 3.5m are shopping and 5.7m are watching her highness, what are the other 50.8m of us doing?
