As soon as a sale is announced we are the first in the queue.

There is this stereotypical view that some of us are experts at the annual sales. I would say we are actually quite rubbish at it.

We have no idea what to buy and we do not do our research very well and end-up purchasing things we do not need.

The men do anyway.

Maybe it is a man thing then? Maybe us men are no good at sales? Maybe it the men who have not realised that getting up at the crack of dawn is not what it is cut out to be.

I have been to several sales events in recent years and it is the Asian women who are giving the rest of us a bad name. Asian women, well some of them anyway should be banned from the annual sales.

Okay, that is a tad too far but come on! There is no point wearing a veil and a headscarf and looking all holier than holy and then losing all sense of decency.

Look, I am I not picking on particular women but you know exactly who you are. Several times I have been to the sales and seen some women completely lose the plot over a £10 item.

Once I saw three women fighting over a child’s jumper at Next...it wasn’t pretty.

All sorts of expletives were used in three different languages.

And you can’t really say anything to a woman? In our culture we tend to have this unwritten rule that we must not be rude in anyway way to anyone...especially a woman!

Regardless of anyone’s background I have been brought-up to have a level of manners to all people so I do hate it when I am left embarrassed by the behaviour of some people.

All I am asking for is a little decency when the sales take place.

The worst moment if when you witness one of our ‘sisters’ behaving with no decency whatsoever and her husband stands there and watches.

It is the only time I have looked at him and thought, ‘Brother, I think you need to take control.”

But we can’t say this can we?
