Thread: 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...)



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
