Supermarket Asda will not take part in the shopping discount day known as Black Friday, which it helped to bring to the UK just two years ago.

The retailer said customer feedback was behind its decision to invest in 拢26 million of savings for shoppers across the season rather than a one-off day of sales.

Russell Craig, an Asda executive, said that he found the footage of people fighting over televisions "uncomfortable", but he did stress that this was about how people wanted to spend their money at Christmas.

He told 蜜芽传媒 Radio 5 live: "We underestimated the response customers would have. There is some extraordinary and uncomfortable footage of that time.
