Knightsbridge just up the road.....popping in to Harrods for lunch?
I used to pop into Harrods for lunch as I worked next door for a while. I bought One of These Nights from there by the Eagles, when it first came out.
I wish Lid. No we were doing a bit of Christmas shopping. There is a hell of a lot of Filipina's in that area as they are very popular Housekeepers/Nannys. We were having dinner with Ida this evening who is the Housekeeper for Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck. There is also a Catholic Church on the high street that very popular with them.
Well, even if you are just visiting, you are quite lucky to be able to do that.
Not in Harrods I hasten to add.Well, even if you are just visiting, you are quite lucky to be able to do that.Out of my league

Our office was next door, literally. It was in the days of luncheon vouchers so I sometimes, not always, spent them in the foodhall there.
Haha Luncheon Vouchers we're definitely showing our age. 15p a day when I first started getting them

That made me laugh, that must make me really ancient, 2/6 or half a crown when I first had themHaha Luncheon Vouchers we're definitely showing our age. 15p a day when I first started getting them
I spent a year refurbishing a house in Beaufort Gardens in 1971/2 and there was a nice pub just around the corner in Brompton Road, I think it was the Plumbers arms or Builders arms, something like that, but a really nice pub.

Celebrated the birth of my daughter there.
Harrods was on the next corner.
I think it was Hans Crescent we were in. It was in 1975. When all the bombs were going off across London.
I lived in Cranley Gardens, South Ken in 1970, and then Gloucester Road/junction with Cromwell Rd in 1971.
I remember it was 5p between close stations on the underground, and if you knew where to get off, you could go all the way from S.Ken to Hendon for 5p and then hitch up the M1 or A1 home to Yorkshire for nowt.
Otherwise it would have been £3 single for the train to York.
