Harrods Fine Writing Department

[7th Wave]

I just had a little spare time to browse in Harrods (no I can't afford to shop there), and visited their Writing Department. I managed to get only 3 photo's before I was decended upon by the staff and asked nicely not to take photo's

 

 

Part of the department..

Dreadful pens they sell in there!!

[7th Wave]

They do sell more 'normal' high end pens, Montblanc, Montegrappa etc. But they panda to over-rich Harrods shoppers with a lust for gold :roflmho:

 

The above 2 are good examples, each to their own I guess! Personally, I'll stick to a more sedate and classic FP

The last time I was at Harrods they still had a royal warrant or two left. That was a long time ago.

The best, cleanest toilets in the world, with free high class aftershaves and perfumes .

 

Bronze and polished marbles, and two in the the rooms polishing the full day long.

The ticket taker was well dressed. If you bought something you got in free, if not it then cost a pound...and well worth it...IMO.

 

Harrods is a very good upper middle class department store. Friendly folks...8,000 people work there counting the night crew and warehouses.

They had an hour show on Harrod's on a main German TV channel.

 

They have a wonderful 1910-14 truck that makes deliveries inside of London.

 

See Harrods first, Tower of London second.

If you go to the Tower first, you might be able to make off with enough loot to buy something at Harrods. :ph34r:

Does Harrods have a posted "No Photos" policy?

Oh yes

Screw the pens, did you dine in the Food Hall? Yum!

Oh yes

Then why the heck was Mike taking pictures?

When I took pics of an ice cream sundae at Harrods Jubilee weekend, the managers there were WELL aware of what I was doing and had no problems. And there were quite a few things there that were only a bit expensive. But a couple of Harrods' stuffed animals (when they're on sale, especially) make nice presents.

Who cares about their policy. They should be honoured to have customers, not the other way around.

Last time I was in there, I got me a bottle of MB's Irish Green. Believe it or nay...I paid less in Harrods, than I would have up here in Leeds. It's grim up north.

Oh, forgot to say...nice photos!

Who cares about their policy. They should be honoured (sic) to have customers, not the other way around.

In that case they should have confiscated his camera, cellphone, or whatever he took the pictures with.

 

If the store policy is "No Photos" then don't take photos!

If you want to take in-store photographs, go to a store that does not object to you taking photographs in their store.

It is just that simple.

It's a shop, not a military base :roflmho:

They have no legal power to confiscate anything. They can ask people to leave, but they can't nick their stuff.

 

Harrods doesn't seem to have a problem with people photographing the Diana and Dodi Memorial Escalator, though.

Most of the larger retailers will ask you to 'desist' if you take photo's in their store (it's sort of like an 'unwritten rule' I think)....my guess is it would be against the law to relieve you of your camera (unwritten rule or no)

If they want to be sued for stealing someone's property, they definitely can do that.

 

Regarding your "sic", check a dictionary.
