yeah right...if you say so


Yes, I clearly lived in Ipswich my whole life, yet somehow believed we had a HoF which sold cream horns.

You really shouldn't let your dislike of me get in the way of your thinking skills.

Anyway, it's first come first served so here you go

That news is about two weeks old.

HOF is a bit too stufyy and old fashioned so the Edinburhg store simply can't complete with Harvey Nicks which has a great resturant and champagne bar on the top floor.

The HOF store in Glasgow doesn't have the same competition and when I was in it yeaterday it was mobbed.

Shops will survive if they change with the times and make the shoping experience far more pleasureable.


I bought a suit in House of Fraser last year which was identical, yet £40 cheaper, than the same thing in selfridges

Good point, GB.

To be honest, I never really understood what HOF was as a shop. Felt like it wanted to be quite exclusive but was simply overcharging on brands you could get anywhere rather than providing decent experiences as you mention with Nicks.


Whilst relying for a period on agency work, I drove a delivery of furniture down to their South Kensington store.

As I docked at the loading bay, the suited manager came out to greet me with a couple of his staff and he declared, "Oh look, another load of over-priced crap".

If you work somewhere, it would be nice to be able to have a little faith in your own product.

Are you sure he wasn't referring to the driver of the vehicle?

Or, you know, he's on a tight budget and needs to make every penny count.

Businesses either need to get with the times and provide people with a service they want, or go under. That's the free market baby.


There is no such thing as the 'free market'

That doesn't mean it's a 'free market', someone somewhere is in control, as you have indicated, in this case it is google.
