    Last time I was in Harrods it had a tacky Dianna memorial and the remainder of the store resembled a cut down version of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. The best item in Harrods is their free carry bags; they are great to put items from the 99p shop in and had them to folks as presents.

    Last time I was in Harrods I blocked a toilet. I'm still pretty proud of that.

    EDIT : Isn't it about time for the next set of rate cuts and contractor culls there?

    You are a contractor. Off to Kings St with you.
    Night out? What is this "night out" you speak of

    Firstly when he started being racist a few times I asked him about Ireland.

    Secondly I get some of my clothes from supermarkets.

    To be honest the quality of stuff on the high street isn't great and the supermarkets are no worse or better than other shops in where they source their clothes from and the quality.

    BTW; I bought very good trousers and a jacket last week both made in UK for less that £100. Damn good quality too.
    WHS - I'd sooner pay more for some tip-top quality wool spun by a crofter on the Outer Hebrides or somewhere than cheapo imports.

    Maybe you should invest in better washing powder, or learn how to look after your clothes.
