    Selfridge's New Line

    I have just been reading on AOL that Selfridges is offering psychic classes that last 2 hours for £30.

    Am very tempted to sign up for one and try and put my chaos theory to the test lol. I think my chakras are beyond realigning

    If I actually shopped at Selfridges I'd boycott them. But I don't so I won't.

    We could start a whole thread on the nature of those who shop at Selfridges.

    My last visit to London, I had a walk through. God, you southerners must have more money than sense 8)

    I liken it to the food hall at Harrods...why do people shop there to buy their essentials (bread, milk, eggs etc)? I can only assume it is just to be seen in the actual act of shopping there.

    Fruit and veg is fruit and veg wherever you shop....

    Don't forget to stick your certificates up, from some unknown college of psychic skills in a gawdy frame to complete the experience

    Farside,

    The people who shop at Selfridges, Harrods, Fortnum's, Liberty's, Harvey Nics, or whatever, are not "southerners", they are "rich", or "tourists". I take the Ma to this "Farm Shop" not too far away, and it has the most fantastic display of luxury goods - I would imagine like a small version of Harrods Food Hall. A tin of Baxters soup that Tesco charge 69p for, is £1.19 in the "farm shop". But the thing is, it WILL taste nicer if you have paid more for it. Innit.

    Yep People with more money than sense

    As someone who was brought up to respect the value of money, I just flinch everytime I see someone (in my opinion) wasting their money when they could be using it much more wisely. But people are entitled to do what they want with their money.

    Hell, they can even spend it on Amway products if they want

    I shop at Selfridges. But...selectively. I wouldn't buy a jar of Helmann's mayo from there at twice the price of a supermarket. But I buy my clothes, furniture, electrical equipment, fancy kitchen implements etc from there. It's an awesome store. And the one in London (I'm in Birmingham) has the only concession for Eat My Handbag Bitch, which is the greatest seller of crazy kitsch knick-knacks.

    But then, I do my grocery shopping in Waitrose. Maybe I'm posh

    Think about it - how much is a psychic reading these days? I'm *guessing* about £30? Imagine all the money you'd save if you didn't need a middleman to talk to Aunty Betty

    It was £60 at the Psychic Sisters in Selfridges.
    I must have been ripped off
