Re: Londoners, do you visit Harrods?
I did work there for a while - junior fashion department very interesting customers and the clothes Harrods sold but wages were poor and I always did secretarial jobs sitting and standing all day too much for me so I walked out - I bought something small there cant remember what and that was it.Selfridges and John Lewis are nice stores.

Forgive me, but I have a little story concerning my Uncle Vivian & Harrods.
Uncle when well into his 60s was a props manager for Southern Television (as was. closed years ago). He hadn’t retired because quite simply he was the best of his generation.
On his “find” list one week was AN ANTS NEST, for a Children's programme.
Undeterred Uncle Vivian tried all the local pet shops.
I was telling him about my recent visits to Harrods.
“Why you can get anything there,” I said.
“Hmm” he mused.
He rang them as soon as I had gone.
“I’d like an ant’s nest please”
He was asked to hold the line for a few minutes.
Then came the reply.
“We have on offer small, medium or large, delivery this Friday”

No dearer then anywhere in central London and tbh, if I go for a coffee here locally in NI, it's £4

London isn’t that bad lol
I remember having a heart attack at Dublin prices when we first came over here
You just need to be savy, same as any city. I’m more then happy buying a meal deal for lunch, printing coupons for evening meals and getting coffee and ice cream from Mc Ds
If we want a drink, it’s weatherspons Even a meal in there isn’t budget busting , is good for the price.

Re: Londoners, do you visit Harrods?
Wow, thanks for all the great replies. Too bad it's so expensive, though.You know what I'd really love to see, though, is English or Scottish countryside. However, I'd also love to see Germany and The Netherlands, since my dad's side of the family is Dutch and my mom's side of the family is German. I have an Aunt that lives in Germany somewhere, but I lost touch with her a few years after she moved back to Germany from the states.

Germany is lovely, and only an hour to London. Might as well come over and spend a while
I also love Scotland. I’m heading over as soon as I can arrange time off work. This time of year I think Scotland is at its best

Re: Londoners, do you visit Harrods?
What a beautiful village in your picture Linda.I remember going to Harrods once as a youngster, with my parents.
I bought a bowl for the family dog.
It was very stuffy, and airless in there that day for some reason, and it made me feel a little unwell. I had to keep standing by the doors to get fresh air.
That's the only time I have ever been there.
