For shopaholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing – sales! Across the country,
prices are greatly reduced on clothing, electronics, home furniture and more, but London is the place for serious shopping, and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains.
The sales start on Boxing Day - 26th December, and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street queues formed outside shops ahead of pre-dawn openings for the start of their sales. At Brent Cross, in north London, more than 1,000 people were queuing at 3:30am for the “Next”clothing store’s sale which began at 4am. Some hardy people even camped outside the shops to be first in the line.
Consumers who hit the shops were rewarded with discounts of as much as 80% as department stores joined the sales craziness. The shops are absolutely crowded with people as the sales got into full swing, with more than half a million people gathered on London’s West End.
Famous sales include the biggest, most famous shops such as Harrods, Selfridges, Liberty and John Lewis. Department stores are always a good bet - you're likely to find everything you need under one roof, It’s a good time to stock up on cheap things, and there's no better time to invest in some designer threads.
Some people are taking their partners shopping with them, and buying their Christmas presents in the sale - . For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online retailers(零售商)are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own.

Eating disorder is very common now. "When I first wrote about this. the problem was pretty much hidden … I didn't expect it to get as bad as it is." Susie Orbach, an international authority on eating disorders, said.
Orbach must at times think the anti-diet message of her book “fat is a Feminist Issue(女权主义问题)”has been lost since it was written more than 20 years ago.
Girls, boys, old people -- even the famously well-rounded female population of Fiji are falling victims(牺牲品) to fat fear.
"If anything, the situation has got much, much worse. We now have kids as young as eight and women in old people's homes worried about the way they look." Orbach said.
Even though it has been proved that repeated dieting results in a little more than regaining most of the lost weight, constant dieting has become a way of life for many women. 48 per cent of British women aged 25 to 35 were on some kind of diet and 20 per cent of young women dieted all or most of time. Some of them said they would pop a pill to give them their beautiful shape, even if it meant risking their health. Worldwide, 70 million people have an eating disorder. Most are women, but men are increasingly affected, too.
More than half the women and two thirds of the men in Britain weigh too much. while in the United States more than one quarter of adults and about one in five children are overweight. The idea that female beauty is a very thin body could be changed, if clothing factories and magazines showed images(形象) of women of all shapes instead of selecting skeletal-like models and stick-thin actress.
But that is easier said than done.
To get the message across, Orbach is also considering talking to pop stars such as Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell, both of whom have admitted__________________.
