Piggy piggy PIG!
Well, I just went to Woodley to buy some batteries. I failed - they proved too obscure for the likes of Robert Dyas and the Post Office - but found a Farmers' Market.
So I now have real apple juice - I like to think of it as blood wrenched from living apples. And some apple and ginger juice. And some intriguing-looking cider. And some handmade cheese with tomato and paprika in it.
And there was a pig roast going on. So I got a bun full of pig and apple sauce and crackling.
Farmers' Markets are a good thing.
(And I have batteries, too, but had to hitch a lift to the rather more prosaic Maplins with Sysadmin #1 to acquire them.)

And all those poor apples that you callously sacrificed in passing. They probably screamed, you know!

I believe you, but am intrigued to know how you know :)

The same's possibly true of other 'slots' in the Food Hall too. After all, you can even get Krispy Kreme donuts there.

According to my list of Interesting Facts About String, Harrods doesn't sell string, either.

(Anonymous) 2003-11-19 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)They had a line about if you couldn't buy it at Harrods then it can't be bought. Prehaps the Ebay bucket of water for £120 has outdone them though..

According to my list of Facts About String (careful, or I'll post the other 19), you can't buy it in Harrods. Mind you, my Facts were published in (probably) the early 90s, so may be outdated. Or just wrong.
How do you know string can be purchased from the materials department ?

Then there's Fact About String #11: "The flax industry in St Helena collapsed in 1966, when the British Post Office discovered rubber bands. Previously string produced for this country made up nearly 100% of the island's exports".

(Anonymous) 2003-11-23 12:44 am (UTC)(link)Mind you, I had brought it in with me.
However, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get Coke there. I haven't checked there in a very long time, but it used to be that the main food "hall" with all its exotic and/or expensive stuff actually extended over several halls on the ground floor [note: now more restauranty than I remember it being 10-15 years ago], but there was a smaller section in the basement below which was almost supermarket like (with supermarket checkouts, 'n'all).
That supermarket was great, because it catered partly to the American consumer by selling imported American product. Now, everyone knows that Kellogs Sultana Bran is a most fine breakfast cereal, but in Harrods you could get the superior Kellogs Raisin Bran, for it was that which was sold there.
Note: Raisin Bran != Bran Flakes + raisins. Tried that.

If you're going in April, that needs remedying. TGP is barely spitting distance from the Elsinore...
