Bargain-hungry Brits have ditched the high street for online shopping this morning as Black Friday deals saw customers splurge millions of pounds on the internet. People in the UK are set to spend £2.5billion today, but shopping centres from Birmingham to Glasgow were left desolate in the early hours as consumers decided against the usual crush to bag deals online. Only a handful of die-hard Brits decided to brave the near-freezing conditions overnight to get to the front of queues outside stores in a bid to beat other shoppers to the biggest discounts. However, more than £1billion will be spent on internet stores alone today, with online transactions up by 78 per cent on last year before 7am this morning. Shoppers are expected to part with £13.4million every minute on everything from clothing to cosmetics on Black Friday, while over the weekend that figure will top £7billion, an average of £220 each for every Brit.
