Urban Junkies London - Friday December 19




Friday, December 19 2003

	Gone are the good old days when you could exchange your gifts for cash after Christmas, then buy them back again on sale in January and pocket a fair sum of change. These days, chances are that your presents have already been marked down twice before being gift-wrapped and adorned with a from/to sticker.
		This is our last issue of this year. We're back Monday, January 5 2004. Write us with feedback and ideas on how to improve next year.
		1980s revival with Dead or Alive, Pointer Sisters, Kool & the Gang, Kim Wilde and Paul Young at Wembley for the Here and Now tour of withered stars. 7:30pm. Empire Way, HA9. £35.50. 0870 739 0739 or online.
Like puberty, the January sales seem to begin earlier every year, leaving you to wonder if they will eventually replace the August sales, which in turn now seem to take place in June. To help you navigate where and when you can see your Christmas purchases lose value faster than the dollar, Urban Junkies ends this year with its comprehensive end-of-season sales listing.
