snob isnt the word,mind you i generally purchase all my electrical goods
from Harvey Nicholls, and believe me being on first name terms with the
store and department manager helps a lot lol, we even get a private room
with dvd etc,etc and free wine when we purchase which is very regularly i
might add and not just electricals at that.

I might buy a TV from Homebase but I would think long and hard and
then think once more before buying a pile of unreliable trouble like
a Bush TV.

yes possibly but the food is superb you know and the chef is wonderfully
attentive, in fcat we have been shown around the prep area on more than one
ocassion and its wonderful, the cleanest area i have ever seen. The thing
that doe sit for me is my relationship with both the GM, The security
Mmanager and all the staff members know us on first name terms which is
excatly what good customer service whould be about although most of the
Hharvey Nicholls staff are a step up from the comets and the homebases
standard of staff.

Well food is food = energy.
Once went to British Homestore restaurant in Watford. It was a strange
experience. The room had very low ceiling, something like a half cellar. All
around there were mirrors with a dark reflections, surely one-way mirrors.
While I was eating, I was thinking that management might be standing on the
other side and watching me, like being in a Big Brother show.
