I flipping well love that place, and considering how prestigous it is, their food isn't that expensive.
They're not too much more like-for-like more than Waitrose.... but their staff are extremely knowedable.

True story about harrods, my ma' and dad got a cake for a wedding anniversary made by them. They paid nad ordered it a good 8 weeks in advance or soo. The day before the doo, they went to pick it up, and were told "We're really sorry, we have you on the list, we can see it's there, you've got your recipt, but we haven't made it.... but don't worry, it won't be a problem".

Dad said "What do you mean don't worry? We got 50 people coming over tomo !"
Manager replied "Don't worry, just give us your address".

On the day of the doo, they put it with two members of staff in a black cab to our house in Cockfosters (probably about £60 back in those days), the two staff stayed the whole time serving people, and they didn't charge a penny for any of it, not even the cake.

We sat in the tube, all the way from T5 to Knightsbridge,

There is a road there called "Mount Pleasent" too.
And the minicab office based there is called "CockFosters Cars"... sepporating out the word into two.

There's a Dogpool Lane near my old flat
the L is perpetually scrubbed out.
