You should have bought a house next to Harrods like I did.

Harrods is for pretentious Chavs, anyone with any real character shops at Fortnum & Mason

That wasn't what she meant when she asked for a good pounding.

I wondered why she wasn't pleased with the bumper pack of pan scourers

That reminds me, it is the wife's birthday next week.

Why not get her something she really wants - like a divorce.

Is it only estate agents and mobile phone shops that can survive on the high street now?

FTFY.

Cheap too.

Only £89k.

I'll take two.

One for the butler, one for the cook.

And bear in mind I live in zone 3, not in the middle of nowhere.

They don't need to be.

Shopping in Britain is a tulipty experience, from the moment you leave your house, whether on public transport or driving & parking it's cost you a fiver before you've arrived and you end up in some horrific over crowded mall where some clueless spotty oik tries to convince you to buy something cheap and tulipty with an extended warranty when what you want is something properly made to begin with. Online shopping is generally an altogether more convenient and more pleasant experience, not to mention that it's much easier to find what you want. Of the "discretionary spending" I've done this year 80% of it couldn't have been done in a physical shop within an hours travel of my house even if I'd wanted to because the shops simply don't sell what I want to buy. And bear in mind I live in zone 3, not in the middle of nowhere.

Totally agree with this.

They make people feel like they're cheapest for everything. They aren't.

Don't worry, the private sector will create plenty of jobs. They're just waiting for the government to privatise policing riots and cleaning the blood off the streets afterwards.

The left wing controlled education authorities give kids a lousy education, the kids cannot get jobs so they start rioting thus creating jobs. That is as close to job creation that socialists will ever get

That 'plentiful' supply of shop jobs for the redundant Mrs Shop Assistant is reducing rapidly.
