Black Friday + Education Discount? [UK]

I'm not sure about education pricing, but last year when I bought my Air, the Black Friday discount equalled the discount I can get through my work at any time (8%), but the two couldn't be combined. I'd be surprised if you could get a really good deal, but it's definitely worth waiting a couple of weeks to find out.
I was looking at this last year and found that the Black Friday sale in the UK was a better price than the Educational Discount.
On the sale day both the normal and education store display the same price, the Black Friday Price, in the UK anyway
Hope that helps

You can't combine the two. Also, well worth remembering if you buy using the educational store online (or ring the 0800 048 0408), you will get 3 year extended warranty. Which is worth more than whatever Black Friday gives you in my opionion.
I've never bought anything on Black Friday. I'm in the UK too, so when 23rd November comes around will it merely show up on the standard Apple Store website with lower prices?
Also, do black friday discounts work in brick and mortar Apple Stores? Or just online?

Not all products. Last year, Mac mini, for instance, was not discounted. But yes. Even on the apple store app, reduced prices will show up.
Do you know if the military/federal discount gets you the 3 year warranty as well? I honestly didn't even know the education discount did that. Cool stuff though!
No it doesn't, the general education discount doesn't either. This 3 year warranty is only given to UK HE students (i.e. HND or undergrad/postgrad Degree level) and teachers as part of the supply agreement they signed.
The HE education discount in the UK is ~15%, plus a free 3 year warranty (online). I don't remember a Black Friday discount that large?
