love it or hate it, the annual shopping extravaganza black friday is underway. it's no longerjust a day — some retailers have been offering deals since the start of the month. this weekend, shoppers here in the uk are expected to spend over £9 billion. but it's the first big test for retailers as they prepare for the christmas rush. our correspondent emma simpson reports. it wouldn't be black friday without big tvs, gadgets, and appliances flying off the shelves. this vast distribution hub in newark is home to britain's biggest electrical retailer. it's their most important time of the year, and the pressure�*s really on. it truly has been a perfect storm of shortages across the board. so we've taken on more warehousing space, we've got more stock than ever in our stores, and we've recruited over 3,200 colleagues across our business. so we've got the drivers, the warehouse staff, we've got everything we need to deliver this peak.
