The London Shops

I finally got some spare time between meetings whilst down in London recently and got round Trumpers, Taylors, D.R. Harris and Trufit and Hill.

Talk about starry eyed... BUT I managed to keep some self control and restrict my spending to £8.50....it took some will power but it was helped by the fact that most items were sans price tag.

Anyone else managed a similar feat of control?!?!

Nope!

What did you actually buy - as 8.5 pounds doesn't buy you much in any of these establishments!

He bought the missing price tags!!!;)

LOL!! No - you are unequaled in discipline and restraint! I walked out of Trumpers 155GBP lighter (and I only stopped there because my wife was sitting there with a face like thunder...)

:bow :bow

James.

I did the tour a few weeks ago, more or less as soon as I had a spare day and had moved into London.

The shops are amazing - starry eyed is the word. I was leaving each shop happier and happier.

Spending wise, I didn't do tooo bad. I bought a little something in each shop. I ended the day about £100 lighter.

Ha ha ha!

I walked into Trumpers repeating the mantra - 'You must only buy soap, you must only buy soap...'

'Can I help you sir?'

'Soap...please'

'What fragrance?'

'Argh! You are leading down the multiple purchase path...Limes please then I really must...leave....'

going there with the girlfriend in october. Will check out the stores, no doubt. :)

I'll be in London next week for two work interviews, I'll definitely go to all these shops :D
