ahhh, a department store with a bar. That truly is a civilised island ...

Harrod's - With the prices they charge you think they could afford an apostrophe (Mans?)

Oh come now. Get with it. That is the latest of the denigrations of the English language---the apostrophe. Remember Starbucks?

MK, I thought you were over here to work?

The apostrophe comment reminds me that Lynne Truss has a lot to answer for. She's made us paraniod about it.

For me, it's the ghost of Kingsley Amis. Were he still about, I'm sure he would have blasted Harrod's for that one.

******
Starbucks works with or without the apostrophe.
With indicates ownership.
Without hints at the invasion numbers.

The first and last time I was at Harrods, back in 1986, they still sold dress shirts with detachable collars. Not tuxedo shirts, mind you: business shirts!

At our London hotel's restaurant, the headwaiter wore a detachable windsor collar so stiffly starched, it was shiny.

I wonder if London is still the same today?

Irony of ironies: according to MK's photo, Harrod's is selling Ralph Lauren menswear.


Good old Ralph, who made his millions by ripping off English style. I guess he's come full circle.

Selling Ralph Lauren in a store owned by a man so desparate to become English that he reputedly attempted to bribe officials to get a passport. The ironies keep on piling up ...

It's past eleven. Where's the film? Is this all we're going to get?

And ... ?

The security guard is oddly remininiscent of the Sta-Puff marshmallow man.

 

[Wild Root]

Hahahah, good one!

I do see what you mean!
