Good evening. Shopping centres across the region | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
have been busy today as thousands of people turned out for the Boxing Day | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
sales. There were 100 metre queues to get into Telford Shopping Centre | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
at 6am, while retail managers in Cheltenham and Coventry were both | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
expecting more than 25,000 shoppers today. And customers also seemed | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
ready to spend, as Sarah Falkland reports. | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
It is quarter to six. Are you ready to shop? | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
That is all 2000 of them ready to spend money. That is how long the | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
queue was at Next at 6pm. Right at the front was this lady with a | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
raffle ticket. How long have you been waiting? | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
Six `` since 12:30am. And the queue at Selfridge's began | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
to grow. This woman had been holding the top spot since 4am. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
It is the adrenaline rush that I get being the first and spending money. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
An estimated 200,000 people will be shopping in the Ball ring today. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
Football is down than before Christmas. But to spend is up. How | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
much have you spent? ?1400. It took me half an hour. I've | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
bought three of my siblings with me. I am feeling all right and happy. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Do you think that you got good bargains? | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Yes, I did. I got a whole wardrobe for my husband and. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
It has been a very strong start for us today. Next and Selfridge's | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
queues were probably longer than they have been in years. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
But what of Rebecca, who was hoping to buy designer handbags? | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
There was a blue one on the side, I thought I wasn't sure, I later went | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
back and it was gone. The moral of the sales, those who | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
snooze lose. Insurance assessors have been | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
