January 1st used to be a day when we did nothing much at all. The last three years however we have gone into London on New Years day to shop. As consumers we have been told that “in the current economic climate” it is important that we all do our bit to keep the economy moving, so yesterday, not only did we get some excellent deals, but just like Gordon Brown (the British Prime Minister) saved the world I feel I can lay a claim to having helped save the world economy!
January 1st was an excellent day to go shopping the previous two years as very few people were out and about, but the streets in Knightsbridge (and Harrods in particular) were teeming with people and most of them didn’t even speak English! Well, neither did we actually. We also went shopping on Kings Road in Chelsea which was a much more civilised experience.
Anyway, we got some excellent deals on stuff that was on sale, and no, we didn’t actually buy anything in Harrods. I did take a look at the Jet ejector seats, a steal at £21.000. And of course I also had a look at the toy Hummer which could have been mine for £17.995 (delivery not included). Oh, and the fossils, I saw one priced at £14.500. The fossilised Dinosaur bone had been already sold… Seriously though, Harrods must be experienced if one lives near London!
