            I don't like Harrods. Every time I've been there (less than 5) its been terrible. Packed with tourists and it can take you 45 panicked minutes just to get out when you decide you can't take any more. Also, the only time someone has 'looked down their nose' at me, literally, in my whole life happened on the street outside. It involved some old bag with clearly too much wealth tilting her head back (to look down her nose) at me with a look of disgust on her face. Really quite offensive. As I recall I was washed and clothed so really can't see what was so horrendous. Probably because I was wearing a watch from Argos or something.

                I'm kind of pissed, because MY title is not in the box! :doh: I'm officially a Scottish Laird, as I actually own 1 square foot of land in Scotland[^]. :cool: I had to pay around £50 for it, though. :sigh: The missus owns another square foot... We're contemplating building a holiday cottage on our joint estate so that we can bring over a few friends if we feel like it... :rolleyes:

                                I dunno - surely some of the titles are hard to rank individually, which one outranks the other in the case of "His Royal Highness" and "Her Royal Highness" for instance? :confused: In Britain it must be "Her Royal Highness" first because Britain is ruled by a Queen :doh: So is Denmark by the way, but we don't have any "HIS royal highness", we have a "His Royal Whiner". X| In Norway, they have a king, so they would rank that higher. In Sweden, we also have a king, but he doesn't count, so even here, "Her Royal Highness" would rank higher... :rolleyes:

                                  But you did not need to be adopted for the title? In that case I know one of your brothers. :-)

                                    I dunno - surely some of the titles are hard to rank individually, which one outranks the other in the case of "His Royal Highness" and "Her Royal Highness" for instance? :confused: In Britain it must be "Her Royal Highness" first because Britain is ruled by a Queen :doh: So is Denmark by the way, but we don't have any "HIS royal highness", we have a "His Royal Whiner". X| In Norway, they have a king, so they would rank that higher. In Sweden, we also have a king, but he doesn't count, so even here, "Her Royal Highness" would rank higher... :rolleyes:

                                      Big BACON? What's wrong with that? Anyway szalona is BACON in Magyar and the word here is Baczon [BARCH-ZON], a part of modern day Romania, the only part of which retaining the name is Kis Baczon or Little Baczon

                                        I don't like Harrods. Every time I've been there (less than 5) its been terrible. Packed with tourists and it can take you 45 panicked minutes just to get out when you decide you can't take any more. Also, the only time someone has 'looked down their nose' at me, literally, in my whole life happened on the street outside. It involved some old bag with clearly too much wealth tilting her head back (to look down her nose) at me with a look of disgust on her face. Really quite offensive. As I recall I was washed and clothed so really can't see what was so horrendous. Probably because I was wearing a watch from Argos or something.

                                        Regards, Rob Philpott.

                                        As someone what lived in London for some years, I found the secret of Harrods, Harveys, et al is in the high ticket items. Leave the tat rooms behind and head for where the more expensive stuff is. When I got my coffee machine it was listed as between £500 and £600 everywhere i looked except Harrods. There I picked it up for £400 on the nose with a box of freebies thrown in. I believe the word is Kerching.
