    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.

      And here we have only Burger King.

      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                  I note that 'President', 'Governer', and 'High Commissioner' do not appear on the list. Does that mean that no citizens of a republic or of the Commonwealth need apply? :laugh:

                    Seeing the size of that list, I'm again grateful I don't live in the UK ! One thing I noticed, mixed in with that cluster-fuck of titles, was sheik. How many of those do you keep handy to make that entry worth it? Perhaps in Whales?

                                      I just want to know what they used to order the mess. It's not alphabetic, it's not pairing equivalent male/female titles, it doesn't appear to be sorted by frequency of use either. (I'm pretty sure most princesses have minions to do this sort of thing for them.)

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
