Don't shop at Harrods!
You may have read that Harrods have refused entry to an army officer because he was in uniform when he tried to shop after the Rememberance Parade in London.
This action fills me with disgust for the place and I will be doing my best to let as many ex-servicemen as possible know how a major London establishment and its proprietor regards the Armed Forces of this country.

Dont shop at Harrods? Oh no does that mean I will have to endure the likes of Kwiksave and Lidl in future?
Do Kwiksave stock strawberry conserve with Champagne or Marc de Champagne truffles? and does the wines department have a 2004 Chateau de Prieure des Morgues or a 2004 Bourgogne Pinot Noir Domaine Voillot? Probably not.

First heard of this on E-goat, digusting. Is it perhaps that Mr Fayed is trying to hit back because he has been refused British citizenship? I for one certainly wont be shopping in Harrods again.
Hark!
Is that the sound of a British passport biting the dust?!
Best look in your Christmas stocking in case Santa brings you one, Fayed (or in your 'Festival of Edd' dishdash if you prefer)
(Edited to add: Mova = knob)

No. Harrods sell it in their hampers. Keep up.
Dont you have a hamper for the festive period? No? How utterly common.

If you had any class, you'd realise that Fortnum's range is far superior - I just don't know what I'd do without a bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild to see me through my Christmas lunch with some duck, venison and pheasant pie all washed down with a magnum of 1er Cru Classé Pauillac 1988 for supper on Boxing Day!

I worked in Horrids one Christmas/New Year as a temp handyman. Got to know the in-store security quite well, and one day one of the girl store-detectives came up to me and asked me to watch a chap who they knew was running a shop-lifting team that was in the men's department that moment. I shuffled along pretending to check things, and then he started to move to an outside door. She signalled for me to stop him, so I chased him down Walton Street until I caught him and held him until Plod arrived.
He was out on license for armed robbery. No-one in Horrids thanked me apart from the security girl - go figure

Noted. Not that the sudden withdrawal of my custom will make a big hole in Harrods's balance sheet. I will stick with my usual bottles of Kiwi Juice from Tesco's. Its better than the French crap anyway!

Er, on exactly WHAT grounds did they deny entry on?
Well lets be honest, it is hardly surprising that they did this is it. Didn't they lose their Royal Warrants a few years ago?
Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if any of HRHs who were also in uniform on Remembrance Sunday popped in - what would have happened then I wonder? I would also be interested to know who exactly denied the Lt entry - was it one of their customer service types or one of their uniformed security types? Would be rather a turn up if it had been uniformed security that denied him entry.
Incidentally, is it just me or has Mova deleted one of his earlier posts or am I just imagining it?
