    That sounds more like a "Grotty" than a "Grotto", better make sure I don't bimble in there by mistake

    Don't forget, there are mikes and secret cameras everywhere you go in Harrods.

    Mind you the £240 of afternoon tea they bought immediately afterwards probably justified the embarrassment of the staff...

    Mind you, given the dirty looks the grottot "elves" were giving me, their obvious lack of a sense of humour convinces me I wouldn't of made it past them anyway !!!

    Packing up now to go home for the Xmas break : how much am I looking forward to pushing Mum's wheelchair round
    a) the shopping centre for her to finish her christmas shopping

    b) the push round the supermarket at the weekend ( she doesn't want me to do an on-line delivery)

    c) the Boxing day sales

    Still, im sure I was more of a nuisance as a young un than she is now so fair dos

    Hope they have a great time - Merry Xmas
