"Black Friday flurry as UK retailers push discounts"

A flurry of promotions tied to Black Friday have been causing a frenzy for some UK retailers, with a fight breaking out in one Asda shop apparently over discounted televisions.

Asda, owned by the US consumer giant Wal-Mart, has half a million products on offer.

US shops traditionally offer big discounts on the Friday after the US Thanksgiving holiday.

These offers have been increasingly common in the UK in recent years.
