Didn't/Couldn't see the programme mentioned. However regarding Al Fayeds and Harrods treatment of servicemen in uniform. When I was deployed to Bosnia to work as liaison with some very fine Army chaps we were given half a dozen cans each of Harrods beer and some other snacks and goodies all free gatis from Harrods. Also I know of some army ex-rankers that were employed by Harrods in their security dept. It appears that whilst Al Fayed was often seen as a hard nosed task master who would have loved to sack people on the spot for minor offences he went out of his way to employ servicemen and the majority had loads of praise for their conditions and treatment. Has this changed - doesn't he employ ex-servicemen anymore - if he does why aren't they speaking up?
